Got the design (not that it was complicated) settled, now I need to start testing materials. Going to try kerfing a single piece of wood to bend and create the center section. I have also been interested in trying out steam bending…
I finally completed my goal of participating in a weekly junto project. I went through the paper drums recordings I made and found quite a few cool sounds. I was very surprised at how easy it was to make kick sounds, and how hard it was to make cymbal-like sounds. I could have spent a long time tweaking them, but decided to just let them fly. Individual files can be downloaded here.
Other than that, we spent today working outside and in the garden. We built our square-garden plots last year and although we had a good harvest in general we have heard our tomatoes will be better with more soil. Today I built the 6” box toppers and we got everything mulched. The compost to fill the boxes will come next week, and if it ever stops snowing/freezing we can get things in the ground. The basement is starting to look like a jungle.
In other other news, I also started working on a project for a friend. Let’s see where it goes…
