Excellent I have two Djembes that I have made and I started wood turning and wood caving the same way. I do not yet own my own lath but the time is coming. thank you for doing this
A superb bit of turning Cyrus, those drums are incredible. The Walnut really does look the part, of that there is no doubt. Great video mate. Take care Mike
Excellent video on the Djembe! Looking forward to see how you complete the rigging and finish these. I have wanted to do these for awhile now and this video has given me some great tips. Much appreciated and thanks!!!
Lovely piece of wood, great toolsmanship and a really splendid rig. Intelligent and practical thinking. A joy to watch it taking shape, although the music tracks are a little loud. Cool shop you've set up there. Congrats !
this is what I would like to see more often, a great example of carft . I have made in the Waldorf school in the past so those things in your clip are not so new to me...rather than a clip with a lot of gossip I would like to see clips like yours...well done
Great work Cyrus! I'm thinking about buying the Grizzly 0800 as well. You have just inspired me to try a small scale djimbe until I but a bigger lathe.
Amazing! Biggest piece I've seen on a normal shop size lathe. Can't wait to see the finished product. The VFD issue may very well have been caused by the weight being turned and the slow RPM. I don't know if the VFD has a fan but, if not just point one at it and keep the sawdust out as much as possible. I've seen that happen many times in industry. Heat can cause many issues. But, never fear Grizzly uses very good VFDs. Please tell us what Grizzly says about it. Thanks for the inspiration man. All the best, Charlie
As far as the breaker popping, my guess is that is when you increase the rpm, you are most likely moving into the sweet spot of the torque curve. See if Grizzly can provide you with a torque curve of the lathe. That will tell you were you have the maximum HP. That's just good to know for future reference.
I got my lathe from Grizzly. It has an 18 inch swing and will take length up to 47inches. Yes you need a big lathe to do this kind of turning. It is also advisable to turn smaller projects for 2 or 3 yeas before slapping a log of this size on a machine and trying this.
It really a shame that this wood work talent , got 500 likes from 100 views.....😔 Thanks for making the djembi making more practical and verry professional ❤️🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀✌️
Hey I have recently begun making djembes, but with almost no electric tools. I'm seeing this lathe and have a question. What's the least amount of money you would spend on one that can do this job?
I spent about $2000 on mine. The Variable speed is the most important thing. When you get a heavy log up on one you gotta be able to start slow till you get it into balance. Second is size if you are only making 10 inch drums then a 12 inch lathe is enough I can make up to 16 inch drums on this one (it has an 18 inch swing). You can push it and maybe get a bit more diameter but remember the Banjo has to fit between the work and the ways. Also I have 30 years experience turning, and really don't recommend going out and buying a lathe and thinking your going to start turning drums. Get some turning time under your belt with smaller projects first, learn the machine and the finesse and safety to the process first, and by that I do mean get a couple of years turning behind you before tackling a full size drum (that is my recommendation you do as you wish).
i am trying to make drums i just saw your video what brand is youris the machine where did you get it i am an artesan make then with chisil bt have money right know woud like to buy machine
I got mine from Grizzly.com here in the US. It is the 18X24 model G0733. However I do not know what is available where you are at. Most larger woodworking tool companies sell similar Lathes though so you should be able to find something big enough. However keep in mind that the accessories I use I have made. The steady rest, boring bar, etc. and I have been turning since I was a boy, professional for about 20 years. turning something like this is not for a beginner.
John Johnson, Jr. Not only that but I plan on buying the next step up sometime in the future. I haven't decided which the 0766, 0799 or the 0800. but one of them. For now though this one is still really good.
Grizzly says that the weight is too much for the lathe design, and are pretty much of no help. However after finding a manual for the vfd and doing some research on it I figured out it was the wind down time. factory setting was 10 sec. if it spins for too long past the wind down the vfd needs a full reset, meaning unplugged for 10 to 12 seconds. However it is changeable so after resetting to 30 seconds the problem has subsided. Thanks for watching.
ur speed controller for ur eqipment needs tweaking to stop it taking out ur rcd...inverters(speed controllers)can be tweaked to stop this get a spark in)
Hey bro, I'm from Trinidad and Tobago. I make drums by hand, so you can just imagine how this video excites me.
Keep on keeping on
Excellent
I have two Djembes that I have made and I started wood turning and wood caving the same way. I do not yet own my own lath but the time is coming.
thank you for doing this
You should watch some of my videos after I upgraded my steadyrest. The new one is much beefier and better in several ways.
Okay
A superb bit of turning Cyrus, those drums are incredible. The Walnut really does look the part, of that there is no doubt. Great video mate.
Take care

Why do you fill it with shavings at the end is it help it to cure some how awesome vidio thanks I'm learning trying to make my own awesome rig thanks
It seems it takes more time in machines than by hands
Once I perfected this system I could turn up to 3 in a day. I know of no carver that can claim that.
would love to listen how it and to be.. Never saw so beatufill wood for a djembe. Nice work man ;)
Very nice 👍 I Aria percussion DJembe

Hi my name is Richie how can i bye one of your drums in this video
If I wanted to make 13" djembes on one of these, is there a specific brand and size that you would suggest?
I got my lathe from Grizzly. It has an 18 inch swing and will take length up to 47inches. Yes you need a big lathe to do this kind of turning. It is also advisable to turn smaller projects for 2 or 3 yeas before slapping a log of this size on a machine and trying this.
@@DIYwithUncleCy thanks for the information.

Do you make Krin drums too?

@@DIYwithUncleCy do you have a recommendation for keeping the log fro splitting as it dries
love this vid! Its a beautiful thing to watch
Impressive ! Masterdrums !

John Johnson, Jr. Not only that but I plan on buying the next step up sometime in the future. I haven't decided which the 0766, 0799 or the 0800. but one of them. For now though this one is still really good.
Thank you very much
Nice!! I need your contact information/email for a custom djembe in the near future. Keep going!!
My drum page on Face book is, facebook.com/CYDRUMGUY/ probably the best way to reach me.
Great Jobim!
Great job!
thanks for doing these vids!!
How much would you sell this for?
LOL this was so long ago I do not remember how much I sold it for Maybe 250 to 300 range.
I'm jealous. my lathe has a low speed of 600 RPM. I also lack a boring bar
Sorry Cyrus, I just noticed the date on this video. I'm WAY late with my comments. How's the VFD issue?
Grizzly says that the weight is too much for the lathe design, and are pretty much of no help. However after finding a manual for the vfd and doing some research on it I figured out it was the wind down time. factory setting was 10 sec. if it spins for too long past the wind down the vfd needs a full reset, meaning unplugged for 10 to 12 seconds. However it is changeable so after resetting to 30 seconds the problem has subsided.
Thanks for watching.
I really like that steady rest setup is that something you would consider selling?
This one was retired long ago now. I made a much better and bigger one to replace it. Nah not selling it LOL
Superb
Hi Cyrus...... very interesting... keep those video's coming :)
ur speed controller for ur eqipment needs tweaking to stop it taking out ur rcd...inverters(speed controllers)can be tweaked to stop this get a spark in)
Could except the VFD is locked by grizzly, so without the code to unlock it is not happening.
Thats my lathe man.
That is very good, only the music during talking is really disturbing and makes understanding difficult.
That piece could work as a large potted plant holder in an office!
Cost as much as my leg...... LOL don't sell yourself short legs are priceless
Great work! (but I think an African music could be better for video) 😂
