Aloha station, that ladder/scaffold/steps combination thing is still friggin crackin me up.

That big one in the hickory tree is on hold till sometime next year now, the guy who owns the property lost his father and is out in the mountains somewhere in the northwest dealing with it his own way.

So drums....

I'm pretty happy with the way these guys turned out, they sound outstanding.

They don't have the finesse of buzzy's Marquesas style drums but I like em.
Ended up stretching the rawhide and tacking into place inside the groove i carved into the rim.
Then ran a cord over the tack heads and tightened it down with a series of simple cinch knots.
Finally the natural fiber rope over the top just to give it a finished look.

Any suggestions for improvement on the next ones?
