- Hey kids,
This morning I had a 26" kick on the bench and realised that my trusty dusty truing board wasn't nearly big enough so I chucked this together in literally five minutes; took longer to find my stapler...
Handy unit this. Check it if you need it. :)

Other than drum stuff, what might you clever people use this jig for?
Thanks mate, great thinking and great explanation. Made me realise I don't need to lay out a whole composite sanding sheet for each shell size (duh moment).
Have subscribed and look forward to watching your other vids. Professional drummer with a recent lockdown interest in woodwork. Cheers from the UK, and all the best for 2022!
Love it.
+424. Hello my new friend.
Your idea of making a drum is interesting. I have never made a drum. I watched with curiosity. congratulations. I saw that we had something in common. I'm happy to be on your channel. I want to see you on my channel too. See you all the time. Big greetings. Stay healthy and happy.
Does the MDF board stay true? I’ve seen others recommend a slab of granite.
It stays true enough. I don’t do my final checks on it, but it is flat enough to get the job done.
I didn’t know MDF was perfectly flat. I actually use a thick piece of round table top glass for bass drums. Glass is presumed to be perfectly flat. I use a machinist granite surface plate for smaller drums like DW uses to check edges, not cheap and very very heavy.
Manufactured boards are almost universally flat when made, it’s just easier to make them that way. They will stay that way if thick, and moisture resistant. You can make them even better by reinforcing with an epoxy top coat and then running them through a well-tuned and properly setup drum sander. Glass is a poured product and as such can be inconsistent, rarely happens with tempered or plate glass, but still possible. Granite reference plates built to scientific tolerances are by far the superior option, but one large enough to do bass drums on cost a LOT of money. I used to have a 700mm square off-cut of marble countertop that was pretty damn near perfect, but it was dropped and shattered somewhere along the way. There’s always going to be compromise somewhere; price, availability, durability, accuracy, space constraints; the perfect reference surface might not actually exist and at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter all that much. I have had several DW’S come across my bench with wonky edges over the years.
@@schinbeindrumcoI agree, I’ve checked some DW’s on my surface plate that had a slight wobble and I’ve also checked some 70’s Premier drums that were absolutely perfect. Can you make a video on cutting snare beds?
