I got on a Drum making kick again last weekend...

Well - I finally got a little time to spend in the garage last weekend and so I 'could have' worked on any of the many incomplete bow building projects I have lying about, ...but I just wasn't feeling it.  Not sure why I wasn't really, but it just wasn't where my mood was leading me I guess...

So, I built drum frames out of the scrap bits of wood I have lying about left over from Bow and Boat building projects of late.  Waste not want not...  :)

Now I just have to find a way to get some rawhide at a more reasonable price so I can finish these guys up!!!

Some more...

Onebowonder:
...and some more. 

I made 3 exact copies of the first one 'cause I had lot's of scraps that size.  ;)

You did a great job, they look really nice! What did you use to join the pieces together?

Onebowonder:
I just cut the correct angles on my tablesaw and then glue up the pieces with quality wood glue.  I've used TB2,TB3, and these were done with the new Elmer's Carpenter's Wood Glue MAX.  It's said to be waterproof like TB3 is.  Then I wrap them in a rachet strap and draw them up tight till the glue sets up.
