    the way to drill a round surface like that is to chuck the part in a vice under a milling machine and use an end mill to gently cut a flat in the round service. that will give you the purchase you need to both punch and drill properly.

    Nice job, I did a Selmer Centered Tone bell last week. The only real difference is I used carbon fiber rod. When I shrink a ring I always use of a piece of hardwood between the tool and the rawhide mallet, it keeps even pressure so you don't mis hit and warp the ring. As a side note 95% percent of the bell cracks I fix are from Selmers.

    Great work, really high artistry and craftsmanship. I watched all the videos on this horn because I've had the same horn for 20 yrs and just now the finish is doing something very strange where it's turning kind of a swirly black (just on a few keys of the upper stack). I'd like to do something myself, but I think this might be out of my league. Was wondering (1) as a guy who understands the unique finish of these, any idea why this us happening and (2) how hard would it be just to strip those keys down to the bare brass (I'd be ok with pretty much anything other than what it's like rt now and thought that a few unlacquered keys might look better)?? I'd love to send you a few photos, couldnt find a contact address. *Mine is on my channel, under "about". (There are other ref 54's online where this is happening all over the horn in big sections for some reason and the owners are distraught. Can't understand why it started just on the upper keys after 20 yrs..) Thanks again for posting this!!

      If a composite barrel...ask teacher for replacement. If wooden..... In a well ventillated space fiill a small metal container with a little acetone...the depth of the ring. Stand the barrel in the acetone for several minutes. (May have to top off acetone as it evaporates quickly) Likely will come off. No? Let barrel dry Use a butane lighter at a 45 degree angle , pointing away from wooden barrel. Heat ring. Should come off.

The only glue I use on rings is super-fine shellac powder. You can heat that and it gets sticky and holds the new ring on, but I only do that if the thing falls off for the customer twice, which means they aren't oiling properly.

    The brand of C/A glue that had the broken tip is quite good. If you go to a hobby shop or other supplier you can get it in 3 or 4 different viscosities. I think you will find it better stuff than the hardware store variety. I have friends that are violin bow makers and they use it for some bow repairs. The very thin variety works well to use with grenadilla powder. I have had the frog of an expensive bow get its corner chipped and repaired this way.
