Anyone else find both the irony and the hilarity of a drum set sitting right behind him as he talks about a drum sander?

Marc!

I would like to give you a project idea/challenge if you like. Ever since I bought my first RAS I have been wanting to build a geodesicdome designed by Buckminster Muller; http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20140613-spaceship-earth-a-game-of-domes
More spesific a 3V 5/9 flat base krusche model https://web.archive.org/web/20150323155129/http://www.domerama.com/calculators/3v-geodesic-dome-calculator/3v-flat-base-815-kruschke-calculator/

There are alot of people building these, but usually by using steelrods and some form of hubs. There is a possibilty make these out of pure timber https://web.archive.org/web/20150323162543/http://www.domerama.com/calculators/3v-geodesic-dome-calculator/making-a-timber-kruschke-dome/
And its said: “A timber dome made from standard lumber such as 2″ X 4″ or 2″ X 6″ requires a high degree of precision in its construction. If you are off by a fraction of an inch or a degree or two in the cutting angles, the errors compound and the project becomes a nightmare.”

So this calls for a jig, since it 165 struts with four cuts each , and all of the compond miters!!

I have been trying to figure out the best way to make a jig, not only for the one dome I’m building, but all my friends wants one as well! And I cant figure out the best way to make one?!? This would be great to see you tackle, and maybe challenge the others in the Woodworking community? I suspect this can be a good challenge 🙂 let me know what you think, if it triggers your perky curiosity or what?!?

Drum set in the background of the drum sander video! I see what you did there!!! That’s a really old kit – I’d say roughly 20-25 year-old Tama Rockstar. I had one in white – sounds like crap!!!

Do a stave-shell snare drum video!!!!!

Great video, and nice shop. I have a new shop being built. lookng forward to maknig the video for that one. All the best

Any videos of you playing drums?

Hey this is unrelated to the drum sander, But I figure you’d be the one to help me out. I just bought a ts75 and I’m Just looking for a simple answer and no one can give me one. lol. The first thing I did when I got the saw is to check the bevel, it was off about 2 degrees. So I re adjusted the screws and got it perfectly square. But when I made test cuts they were all off. If the take the saw blade out of square with base I get a good zero degree bevel. Thanks.

Too bad you did not do this a month ago. You could have thrown in the song The Little Drummer Boy, with the lyric “Pa-rup-a-pum-pum” replaced with actual drumbeats. Anyway, Drum On! Maybe next Christmas, join one of those guitarists on the Tube. Wood working meets Rock-N-Roll!

Luckily I can use a huge belt sander thicknesser for free if I need one :3

Is this a paid endorsement or review? Seeing that large Powermatic sign on the wall, I’d say it is!

the cup holder i would of kept it as it is and add one with the hole in it ! so now you have a cup holder and a peanut holder !!

Good start of the year!

I wish the manufacturers would get on board with putting more than a 4″ port on something like this. If you’re shelling out that kind of money for a drum sander you probably have something more than a 1.5 hp DC. You’d really be kidding yourself trying to run that on one of those anyway, for anything but the most occasional use. It would be really difficult to modify that to have two 4″ ports, which it really should have. Sure you can get away with just the one, but why choke down a larger DC system when that’s probably what it’s going to be hooked up to? They could offer a manifold to bring the two 4″ ports down to one if someone needs it.

OK, about the drums in the background … Have you ever thought about making a set of drums, or at least a Cajon Drum Box? Fun stuff.

Have you seen the DW (Drum Workshop) drum sets that they’ve used the exotic woods on? Great sounding, and beautiful pieces of furniture. The DW factory in Oxnard, CA, gives tours and you can see how they make the drums, from start to finish. It’s cool! If you’re ever in SoCal, call and find out when the tours are. You won’t regret it!

Where did you find your Amazing Spider-man poster? I need one! Oh, and keep up the great videos!

Marc – would it be possible to have a future show with you changing out the sand paper from this drum sander? Actually, I would love to see a show where you do all of the PM (preventative maintenance) on your equipment. I think many owners get busy having fun and doing work with their workshop equipment and forget that PM is a necessary evil and will save them money down the road.

hi, forgive me as i’m not a woodworker so i may be using the wrong terminology. my question is: how to sand the door trim/moldings to remove layers of paint? i’ve used a mouse detail sander which is ok for some parts but doesn’t really get into all the nooks and crannies. please show me one or two ways of getting the job done. thanks.

This is just me being nitpicky,,but I probably wouldn’t stick my fingers in to a drum sander that was plugged in as at 5:15 Nice video though!

Great video Marc. Can you sand your drums with the drum sander? Great idea for a video in the free site.
