I use a c-clamp to hold the coupling nuts in place on the ring while I weld
them, at opposite sides from each other. This is another place that takes
practice… you want the finished drum to have tensioning rods that are
straight. Try to use the stave joints as a guide. You want them to line up when
all is finished…
Here is the welding of the Nuts on to the ring…

These pictures look like I made a dub version of this tutorial…
Now I have welded all the nuts onto the ring and ground all the excess welds
down this part is ready to coat with paint…

This is a test fitting of the bottom ring.
