Drum drum drums. A few of the reheads I have done recently.

My first infection since starting the meds that compromise my immune system. 6 days in now. I'll get back to woodworking stuff eventually.

All I can think of is Monty Python and "I'm not dead yet!"

Last night in Rogers, AR we saw Weird Al. We've seen him before, and knew he was a showman. @puddlespityparty.bsky.social absolutely killed it. If you haven't checked him out, do it!

@puddlespityparty.bsky.social My wife and I saw you last night in Rogers, AR at the AMP, and were right behind the guy watching baseball during your set. Your reaction was perfect. He left! Lol. You nailed it. Amazing set. We hope to see you again!

My wife found this set of Craftsman bits for $4. She is a keeper.

Drum stuff! This past week was busy! Here is the new head on a 13" djembe (not laced yet in this pic). It sounds good, too.

Found this guy hanging on the deck railing yesterday. I'm guessing that pollen came from the Rose of Sharon next to our house.

Drums on the rack ready for color!

BTW - if you put googly eyes on equipment, the equipment must be named. The drill press on the right is Phyllis Driller.

DRUM stuff!

Ashikos in the works. Initial sanding has been done. Now to cut the bearing edges, then final sanding and details before color.

Been out for a bit. I'm back. Please hold back your thunderous applause and check out these cool pens I turned today. I'll get more #drum stuff up soon.

2 djembes in the workshop for new heads this week. This is one. I forgot to get pics of them before removing the old head, as usual. Both should be dry and ready for lacing tomorrow.

Back at it! 2 new bottle stoppers. Wear your ppe. I would have caught a chunk of this to the face if I hadn't been wearing my face shield thing.

A micrometer attached to a piece that pivots on the frame of my sliding table. I attach the fence, swing up the micrometer and tighten, adjust to the desired number, pull the fence back and tighten in place.

Do you have a unique setup that works for your projects?

Check out the surface of Venus as seen by my wooden, crank-powered space exploration vehicle!

Wait. Nope. That's the sawdust in the bottom of my table saw. Exciting stuff.

Happy Pi Day. Pecan pie rocks. I hope you have at least a 3.14 multiplier to your good luck this year.

I saw a new post today, and thought I would post the post on Bluesky. While I am not the original poster, and did not put the post in place, I did take a picture of the post to post here, and I am pretty positive I am the first. Please like and repost this post.

Not exactly woodworking, but still part of the hand drum making process. These are for the smaller ashikos.

#woodworkers, do you have prescription safety glasses? I got my first pair yesterday. My eyes already feel more safe.

I'll be back in the workshop next week. We don't get snow like this often. But, surprisingly, the city plowed our street yesterday.
