Nice jig. I may have to make one of these to save timber. So far I have stuck to angles which allow me to use common angled router bits (meaning I've only made drums with 12 and 16 staves), but if I ever craft something as big as a bass drum I'll use something like that fixture. In any case, much better glue joint integrity can be achieved by routing the pieces down to final dimensions.
There's actually a bunch of arguments around that amongst the drum nerds, but generally yes. A consistent inner chamber will project better, or rather, it'll be easier to achieve a sound that sounds like it is projection very well. There are so many variables it's almost silly to say any one thing has a massive effect on the drum's sound as a whole. The sound of a drum is really a sum of its total parts rather than any one particular part.
Why didn't you cut sufficiently thick staves and glue the circle halves together? This solves the problem immediately. The error will always show up in two places, and by using a wedge, you can fix it by gluing the halves together at a 0-degree angle. You sand and glue the whole thing. It may take a little longer, about two days, but you won't have gaps between the staves. Regards.
Great series! Have you made any progress with the next steps? Making the shell round looks like the most difficult part so I'm interested to see how it will turn out. I'd like to try making a snare this summer as a fun project so these videos are super helpful - looking forward to the next one(s)!
I dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my account password. I love any help you can give me!
@Zahir Gunnar Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I'm really enjoying these videos! One thought: so, you said it was a challenge to get the drum round because of the different thicknesses of the staves. My first thought was that the easiest thing would be to cut the thicker pieces so that they match the thinner pieces, e.g. running the thicker pieces through a thickness planer. Was there a reason why you didn't do that?
Yeah man. The Tas Oak was already cut and the jarrah’s slats off the old bbq. Normally everything would be the same, but I thought I’d add a bit of drama to the series which I’ve not gotten back to in a while…
@@schinbeindrumco Ha ha, been there too. No worries, as long as this shell makes it to the end one day. I really like your jig for cutting stave angles - never seen it done like that before.
They were already cut to length, and being so short, chucking them through the thicknesser would have introduced so much random snipe to every single stave. It will all work out though.
Much better this time. - The time and effort in making the jig was worth it.

I admire the (totally unfounded) confidence of only cutting enough pieces initially.
:) no comment.
This is freaking great. I’m hoping to make my own stave shell out of Honduran Rosewood. Definitely wouldn’t wanna mess that up lol
Cool look with the alternating pairs. I am very curious to how you'll round the inside (Im guessing that's a thing for the acousitics yeah?!)

Great comment by the way.
@@schinbeindrumco this is all a wild new frontier for me! Many brand new concepts and thoughts... intriguing stuff!
Really cool, have you written the music as well? Cheers
Nah, I just used the royalty free stuff from TH-cam Studio. :)

Need a vid on how you made the jig that cut the perfect 6 degree shims for your stave jig
I did. The vid called “tale of two jiggies” the first jig was used to make those shims.

@Zahir Gunnar it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account :D

Right? We had a kid and stoopid life got in the way of the fun stuff. It is coming, eventually…

Why didn’t you plane the boards so they would be the same tu ones before cutting?
They were already cut to length, and being so short, chucking them through the thicknesser would have introduced so much random snipe to every single stave. It will all work out though.
Also, I was kind of curious to see what would happen when I got to the rounding out the inside bit.
