Cutting the edges

 
Squaring a round thing
Bearing edge
Keeping it even
Rocket science!
Slow but sure - the result is a clean and even bearing - routers "rip" and they scare me !

Custom Paint Finishes

 

Here are the prototypes and finished design for a custom paint job for Jack Jewell

Pink or what?

Badge Making

Taff Lloyd has been busy making his own drum badge for his replica Camco Snare, which we are proud to have helped with.

 

Tools

A view of the workshop

Also "new" are several pieces of equipment - either 2nd hand, saved from the skip or recycled:

Pillar drill - no longer required

A new and shiny upstart took it's place - BDB international rescue flew in and saved the day.

In a similar bold and daring mission we found an enormous piece of exterior grade ply - this has been made into a very strong workbench which, in turn supports another great piece of kit - Our ancient hand powered but "automatic descent" pillar drill.

 

 

 

Cutting & Being Green

New cutting table allows very precise cutting of raw wood- with less waste in time and resources
Little toms - made in a batch to optimise the wood cuts - we are keen to keep costs and waste to a minimum
The less we waste the cheaper we can Knock these drums out - we are now looking at the cleanest and greenest ways to glue them together.
