Drumsticks for sale

As you may have seen in my previous post, there is some stock in house. This past Friday I trimmed, shaped, sanded and sorted 500+ pieces of product. 2B, 5B, 5Bx, 5A, 5Ax and 7A are available in barrel tip. All sticks will be weight and pitch matched. All are mostly hickory and there are some Maple and my R&D Pecan. I'm getting some good reviews on the pecan. If you're interested, get in touch. All hickory is $5 per pair and the Maple and Pecan are $6 per pair plus shipping. You can get yours through emailing me, facebook me or calling me. All orders are prepaid via Cash, check, money order or PayPal before they will ship. They can also be picked up local in Lafayette. The shop # three three seven 258-6427

I've been doing some research and development on an acorn tip. It is coming along but will not be available until the next batch of sticks, possibly. This development is a stepping stone to being able to offer other tips in the future and is proving to be one of the biggest challenges thus far.

I've also been working hard on a couple other tools in the shop and also acquired a 60 gallon air compressor. I've been working on finishing the large band saw I bought several months ago. It is proving to be a longer than anticipated project. The bulk of it is now ready for paint.

I talked to a friend of mine, Noah, and he had an old 60 gallon air compressor that had burnt the drive motor. We made the connection yesterday and I picked it up. He had informed me that it had also stopped compressing air. It's not a good sign, but I got it back to the shop yesterday and pulled the compressor apart and discovered that the reed block is worn pretty good. It appears that one reed and seat is worn substantially, possibly a defect in manufacturing. I got it all back together and put a drill on it to turn and it sounds like it could be compressing again. I'll be going out this morn to find a motor mount for an old motor I had in the shop to temporarily mount on the compressor.

That's my entry for today. I'm going to try to be more diligent about posting more frequently even if the posts aren't very long. I hope everyone has a beautiful day and I'm off to run errands.

'til later
