Default Musing about little things that take inordinate time.and effort.

You might be able to make a form tool to cut the drumming tip to be
the same - it is small and unique.

Here's two of mine. What doesn't go as fast for you as it seems it
should?


Drumsticks - dead simple, and yet (starting, as usual, from firewood) I
can only turn them for non-paying customers, as they'd be a dead loss to
turn for money - in part because the "competition" is a robot, though
mine are somewhat customized for particular things the mass market does
not provide, I gather. The second takes 2/3rds of the time, as it has to
match the first to make a pair.

Would go faster if I used square wood as a starting point, but it's
against my lathe religion. As for duplicators, if I was going to go
there I'd just put it on a rotary axis router and CNC it - ie, back to
robots.
