Field Engineering

Changed my mind again. The 2nd floor tom showed up today. Full of holes from the old hardware. The good news is it is the same outer diameter as the other floor tom it will be mated with, bad news is it is not the same inner diameter. The shells are different thicknesses so I have to get creative with a lap joint (or something...any suggestions).

I checked on another type of covering but it was too expensive too. But! I was at a friend's house tonight and he had a ton of snakeskin tolex left over from his amp covering project. Voila! So forget about the wood look and the Craviotto example. I'll post some pics after I get the shells joined and then when the covering goes on.
