This is what I started with.
After Cutting all the pieces I check for fit.
Then I glue and clamp it for at least 24 hours.
After that I took it to my friend who turned it on
a lathe for me.
Then much sanding went into this thing. From
100 grit to 800 grit with many stops in between.
Fnishing it off with 0000 steel wool.
This is after 5 coats of Waterlox finish.
Now I lay out the hardware using my trusty
layout mat.
Here is most of my hardware.
Here is my "Trick" throw off how it comes
from the factory.
Here it is after I gave it a good polish.
Here is the finished drum.
I realize that I didn't take any pics of the lugs
before they were installed. That is because
when they showed up I was too excited and put
them on immediately.
