My Tongue Drum...drum roll please
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
 Firstly …yes Tongue Drums do grow on trees!In fact this one grew on an Australian Red Ironbark Gum tree.
Then was cut up for building stumps used in an Queenslander home/house.
Then they were unceremoniously dumped on the footpath as waste, due to being replaced by steel posts
Along comes some “loonie” woodworker and hauls them back home. After reading about Tongue Drums I decide to build a few.The construction process is documented in a blogThe tools used
1 x large circular saw
1x Table saw
1 x jointer
1x thicknesser
1x drum sander
1 x Router
Various hand sanders (which incidentlu are locked away now so nobody pinches them)
Titebond III
A few screws
6 x Super Balls (there were more but check the blog as to what happened to them) Acknowledgments :-
Gnarlyerik
Crowie
Carmichael Plans
and lots of other LJs providing moral support along the way, (again check the blog for their valuable dialogue)
