i have been using these Yotoo hoses & such for a while, some a are chunky but all are very flexible, their hybrid ones can be picked up from ebay or amazon pretty cheap. http://yotootools.com/products/23-YOTOO-Hybrid-Lead-in-Air-Hose-3-8-Inch-by-10-Feet-.html

I had a clever idea about starting my own business and being a professional drum maker, I love it but it’s a bloody nightmare

HI Lons, i have a smaller 10" one i might be able to sell soon, would that be too small? i imported it it during the pandemic when i was desperate for one & could not find any in stock, its had a pretty easy life so far just sanding poplar veneers, im upgrading but dont have the new machine...

nail on head

ohhh someone on here has one.... interesting, I should have searched,

Thanks, big risk, bit squeaky bum time but i can do so much more with the space, just need to tweak the business model. plus it means i can do a workshop refit thread on here. he's not going till December so I celebration I just bought drum sander I can't fit in my current space & a new...

Bit of an update i have made my landlord a counter offer, he's packing up his operation so instead of him selling to a developer who will rip the building down, i have proposed to expand and take his old space as well as mine, more than double what i have + a swanky office last used for a...

i have been to every public meeting & met with the tiltyard people many times, due to the end product & the acts i work with i know the north & south operations, what they are, what they will be & why they won't be suitable for me, they certainly don't want industrial manufacturing on their...

doing some googling earlier as I'm currently re designing my workshop. whilst looking at table saws i spotted a Baileigh cabinet saw on amazon, there are various models, and are all listed as temporarily out of stock but are available to order.... looks like a very typical American style cabinet...

The Bosch gts10xc is a fantastic small shop saw with induction motor, I still have one from my cellar workshop days, its the best small saw I have used IMO. the Mikita mtl100 is a horrific, noisy piece of plasticky junk

Love a good guitar build, this looks fantastic. my former business partner was a guitar maker before he got into doing drums with me, I always wanted him to carry on and do it full time when we set up the drum factory, we had more than enough tooling it was fascinating watching him do the odd...

this thread has taken unexpected and yet fascinating turn/off tangents…. Interesting reading. I appreciate many of you suggesting shared space, etc… that’s not suitable, I can’t take bespoke tooling to such a place… this is a stand alone established 3 man business with a lot of manufacturing...

My reply sounded far more off than I intended Richard, my apologies, you are not intruding, and of course I do appreciate ideas, I guess I was just sounding off my frustrations to a group who I though would understand my shock and annoyance that I can’t get a look in On any of the units we go to...

Thats the positive I'm trying to throw at it.... it could be good for us in the long run, new space, new layout, better operation, room for growth etc.. its just far harder to find new space than i expected.

yes i know who wakefield first are, they are also known as the council... as previously put, we are in touch & they can offer us nothing other than office space. i already deal in orchestral drums, the business is "drums & percussion" im not looking for you guys to solve the issue, you can't...

thats actually what we do say. can't hide that we deal in drums & percussion though, not once they ask for the business name & look us up on the net.
