Making a djembe

Please subscribe so that I can continue making videos. Tim Collins made this machine from scrap parts just to make drums. How awesome! He is a artist in many ways. He also makes music. I will leave a link in the comments. Do yourself a favor and subscribe to his channel too.

Using a chainsaw as a turning chisel….what could possibly go wrong?😅. Great job!

[@MattPrice864]

Thanks! Everything or anything can go wrong at any point for sure.

[@martinaughton2728]

THanks for that I am going to have a go this year butusing hand tools, wish me luck

[@MattPrice864]

You can do it. Good luck and enjoy!

Matt, just wonderd what wood you use and is it green orseasoned. I am a woodsman from West Wales and have access to ash and willow in big enough sizes so was wondering if you thought these may be suitable. Love your ingenuity

[@MattPrice864]

All of the wood has been salvaged so it's somewhat seasoned. I think this is the fastest way to get them roughed in and ready for the lathe. I'm sure both ash and willow would work great. I think maple is great to work with. My favorite wood would probably be black walnut.

Great invention, nice work. I want to make a similar mill but for djun djun shells, can you share details for making one, thanks

[@MattPrice864]

It's all homemade by my friend.

@@MattPrice864 Total respect to you and your friend. My goal is to help drum carvers in West Africa conserve trees. I have be thinking about making a machine that can cut concentric cylinders from a log. A lathe is an option but a simplified down and dirty version of your design with a narrow bar chain might be more economical to build and better suited . Let me know if you or your friend can share more of your experience building and operating the machine you made, thanks!

I need to go see him for sure. Last we talked he was going to put a electric motor on it. Once you see it in person it makes sense but really hard to explain how everything works. Everything was made with scrap parts. I will ask if he's still interested in sharing. Thanks for watching!

[@MattPrice864]
