The following pictures and videos show how I make my Drum Hoops.
​

I start with a sheet of 3mm cross grain of Birch plywood, cut it into 3" wide lengths 8" long

Then I sand the edges to get rid of any splinters
​

Next I feed the strip of Birch Ply into my drum hoop mold.
​

Next I pull the hoop tight to the inside of the hoop mold ready for dry clamping.
​

Then I start to dry clamp using F clamps
​

Next I remove the first clamp and apply a layer of wood glue.
​

Carry on removing the F clamps, applying glue and then clamping with the G clamps.
​

Now I will show you how to finish off the clamping.
​

The next 5 videos will show how to progress to the finished hoop.
