Progress on the larger slab of herringbone went well today. All I did was put both sides through the drum-sander, at S&F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the smaller herringbone that I did earlier, I matched the strips. With this larger slab, I\u2019ve randomised them. I like both results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that I worked on Snare #2. Now that I\u2019ve got some hardware to attach, I was hoping for some satisfying progress. Instead, I made a very slow-mo pig\u2019s ear of it all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems I\u2019m destined to make every conceivable mistake possible. Often repeatedly, and that\u2019s really annoying!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s litany of frustrations included: repeatedly measuring for marking out, with the results never stacking up to a neat\/accurate outcome; drilling the first two holes in the wrong place, despite constant measuring and re-measuring; finding out the supplied screws aren\u2019t long enough to actually attack the hardware (or put another way, the shells I\u2019ve made are too thick, for the hardware as supplied).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was all at S&F. Then, once home, I attempted to make Keruing dowels, to patch the inaccurately drilled holes. This – trying to make the dowels – was a nightmare! My dowel-making tool doesn\u2019t work very well. Guess I should make a newer better one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then I went and put the dowels in the two holes that were accurately drilled, as opposed to the misplaced ones. Gaah!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knocking the dowels out and putting them into the correct holes? That more or less split the drum, for the umpteenth time! I guess tomorrow I\u2019ll have to address that. Superglue, of wood glue? Hmmm\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
