Had to make a new tool rest for the lathe (took about 30" and cost almost nothing). Made it a much quicker and safer process to turn this shime on the lathe.

Working on those skills. Kind of a weird camera angle. The taiko look really tiny.

This is the finished shime daiko. Right now it's going through further shaping so the skins sit in the dou (body/shell) correctly. I'll post video in a few weeks once I'm moved.

That's a good-looking set of taiko. Two different prep methods for the hides from Montana Leather.

What I'm actually doing with my life: drum building, and running rehearsals for this week's taiko performance.

The current work at the shop (backyard and garage). And three mixed, blue Healer #doggone. Yep, it's a mess.

Process shots of forming the Kawa 皮革 (skin) on the chudaiko. Giving it the proper shape before stretching to give the head its tone is crucial.

Shimedaiko practice. Feels nice to practice after several weeks off (stroke recovery).

When you have to practice with only two performers. The piece is "Reflection," by me, performed by me (left) and Jay (r) of Goisagi.

A shime daiko drum head I finished yesterday. Need to drill the holes for rope, but surprisingly high pitched.
