Drumsticks with the Goodspeed FH30

It's taken some time and it was worth it. Drumsticks are now coming off the lathe. The first batches of prototypes will be 5B 5A 7A and 2B barrel tips. I've got to get more material because this machine burns through it. Right now the lathe will spin one every 30-35 sec and I've still got a bit of dialing in to do. The chucks get trimmed and the tip and butt get finished by hand so far. Eventually I hoped to speed all that up with a couple other nifty machines on the drawing board.

It's been cold here in Louisiana. The temp didn't get above 28 degrees today. There are icicles hanging off the house and I had a sheet of ice on the car before I left the shop. Fortunately the shop is staying warm at about 60. The plan for tomorrow is spinning sticks. Enjoy the video below.
