Even though we kept very busy, day four netted little visual progress as we finished much of the welding on the drum base. We also cut many new files for the drum and drumstick and prepped them for welding. The drum and drum stick will have indented lettering on both sides. This lettering is cut through the outer steel with a second layer of steel plate backing it up. The back layers have scores of holes cut into them to facilitate blind welding to the front layer to keep things tightly together for the long term. Next week we’ll fire up the welders once again. Stay tuned…
