Cutting down a tom w/re-rings

Posts: 966 Threads: 213

Cut first, then steam off the rings.

This set up looks like a winner, although I've never tried it.

The ol' rabbit needs a table saw. That would be very, very easy. I have n old espresso machine for the rings.

Its not that hard to do. Anyone familiar with woodworking tools can do it.

Another way to cut the shell down is by a hand saw..Remove all the parts from the drum.Then mark the drum 2" up mark the drum with a pen all the way around the drum.Used tape around the drum-put tape on the side of line that is NOT going to be cut off--Then cut with hand saw..Mikey

Looks like a good setup but I'd like to see rollers on both sides of the blade.

Hey Johnl, your link for the MIJ lugs is broken. Email me a pic and I'll see if I have the ones you need.

Make sure you use an appropriate saw blade on the table saw.
