Next I use an elastic band to wrap around all of the staves… arrange them
into the shape of the drum at this stage. Then I secure the whole bunch of
staves with a hose clamp, as such… just on one end so it can be glued together…
Notice the kind of glue that I use! This glue washes off with water and is
SUPER strong on wood. With one end loosely secured with a hose clamp you can
open the other end and glue it up. You will need to spread an even coat that is
not too thick. It is best to do it on both sides of each joint, but you will
need to move fairly quickly.
Glue being applied…
place another clamp over the open end once all the joints glued. Keep it
fairly loose and flip the drum over and take off the other clamp. This will
allow the staves to spread out while I finish gluing.
