New fiberglass project

[vinnieL]

Looking good though keep at it your dedication is sure to turn out a fantastic product! When i was in my very early twenties i work for a company that made molds for composite aircraft wings a fuselages and i know how much effort goes into getting a perfect mold it really is an incredible amount of work. I can really appreciate the amount of labor your putting in. Blessings and keep us posted.

Congalou,

Regardless of the bumps, WHAT A DRUM!!!!!!
I love it bro. I'm in line for one of your drums when they are perfected!

Congratulations. Keep us posted on your progress.

After some attempt not always good.... some layers of different products, my conga is now a tumba !

But now, the shape is fine, other plan : I have made a special vertical lathe for congas for have a perfect finish. Here is a photo. I use my drilling machine.

Idea of the future look with a newskin on. I have made the standart size. Maybe some guys will like to have a artisan skin set and a synthetic skin set for the same tubes. That's not my prefer, but I respect those who like it (play outside for exemple).

Cheers,
Galou.

Hello guys !! and thank you for the encouragements, it really motivate me !!!

Hi B, I think it's possible I want to finish the 3 molds before the cold season, because it's most difficult to work out.

Cheers,
Galou.

awesome.
By the way, what is the name of your congas going to be??

keep us posted on the sound!

[congalou]

Hi 6*8 !

Don't know the name yet, I don't have think about that. I think all models will be differents and unique, why not call each models ?
Example : Pinkmama model or congacow model (If I make a black and white cow model)
"Big B model by Congalou" engraving on the rim.... What do you think B ??

Drum Makers work with their Instict...

If your Instict says "Big B" By CONGALOU...This is "The Thing" !

Lol, I would love that.. But I'll send you the colors I want and I am willing to pay extra to get the logo of my band on the drums

If only dreams could become true........


Keep up the good work
