I feel like that stresses the material a little too much. I do different things from time to time depending on how the material wants to move but generally, I found this to be the best method when using a shell that I sank myself.

@@jrmhrpr I see, but I don't get what's the difference between self-sunk shell and pre-sunk, like deep drawn shell, in your experience?

@@karoldomanski if I sink a shell myself, I have control over its shape. This means I can start out much closer to my ideal final shape. Notes basically start flat so I don't have to overwork the steel. Drawn shells and the like start very round so more shaping is needed.

​@@jrmhrprI imagine that by overworking the steel you mean putting too much stresses to it or pushing it too much, so it gets too thin? I think that while former can be solved with annealing, the latter can be definetely a problem.

Have not done anything like that yet.

Sorry, I'm not fully understanding what you mean? I get them flat and then tape the mold on the inside. Then I hammer the dimple from the outside into the mold. If you are referring to tone field molds, I don't use those. It's all done through shaping.

​@@jrmhrpr Oh ok thanks again for answering

I just posted an old video of pre shaping. Hope it helps. 🙏

That's a tough one. I got one from a friend in northern California but the others, I went to a local fabricator and had them made. If I find a link I'll post it but a local shop is best in my opinion. That way if you need other stuff built, you can get it done locally. Also it's just good to support local businesses where possible.

@@jrmhrpr thank you for the quick response and I appreciate your help

Can you give me the dimensions? And would that be for a 20 inch or a 22 inch dome?

@@khashcpt I use 21" inner diameter.

It's similar but much harder to do. Since your arms don't have as much support when doing it. I have used many different methods for the ding and still use a combination of these to get my desired result.

@@jrmhrpr hah, I'm still struggling with it. F*ed up 2 good shells because I couldn't stabilize or lower the ding enough. I have to find a way to make strong ding borders. I'll appreciate any tips :)

@@karoldomanski It's not really about strong borders. It's mostly about how much compression is in the note and how you handle it. Lots of great builders don't make borders at all. I could better help if you send me a video of the problem you are dealing with.

@@jrmhrpr My reasoning was exactly that: the membrane was not stable, because the structure couldn't hold the compression, therefore I should make a stronger borders. I'm curious about your approach, I'll try to send you a video if I'm stil with this problem on the next shell. Many thanks :)

Send me an email at harpershandpans@protonmail.com. Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks for replying 🙏🏻 I emailed you

We saw a few funnel clouds too! Might be the first time ever in this area. Crazy!

@@jrmhrpr … Yep …. 🎶 The times they are a changin’” 🎶. Check out the seaweed blob … half the width of the United States that’s heading to our Florida coast …on my side!!! Should be here in July…..Ugh!!! Big sigh….oh well….wishing you a good week Jeremy! 🥰……🛸🎶….🦋

@@thathandpanlady4510 Wow, I gotta check that out! You have yourself a great week too! 😀

Thanks bro! We can work on a payment plan if you want? 😉

Yes, I still use predominantly the same method. I usually have a family member come and help me for the 20 or so minutes that it takes. At least after I have them all taped on.

@@jrmhrpr Thanks, but my question is: do you tape it also from underneath the dimple? (with double-sided tape) Or do you just tape sides of the dimple to the shell with "L" shaped tape?

@@karoldomanski Oh, sorry about that.. Yes, I put a single layer of the same tape under it. I only do it because sometimes it would get so sharp that it would cause the edge of the dimple to crack. Not sure if I was doing it back then but I do now.

@@jrmhrpr yeah, that's my experience too! I cracked 2 previous shells that way :( now I'm trying to find a reliable way to protect from that. Rounding edges of dimples is also important, but CNC rounding is sooo expensive. So I'm trying to do it with Micromot tool. By the way - what lathe did you use to make those heads? I've ordered Golconda rammer with heads from Panmaker, but they are different, so I guess I'd have to make ones like yours. Is that your recommendation?

@@karoldomanski I use a mini machine lathe for my heads. I also remove the rubber from the included rubber butt and thread them to whatever size. If you would like to talk more in depth, email me at jrmhrpr78@gmail.com and I can help you out with advice or whatever.

Thanks a bunch! 🤙

Me too.. I'm not super disappointed because I love playing it but sad it hasn't found its home yet. 😔

It's really about feel. Everyone had their preferred distance away from the rim and such. Sorry if that doesn't answer your question very well.

Super troopers

I use Linotune. linotune.com/

Honestly for me it's more about minimizing dents. The rubber hammer seems to move the whole note plane more while the metal hammer moves more of the spot I'm hitting. Hope that makes sense. 🙏

And, at 4:28, what are you looking for, or at? It's such a cool process.

@@peteralexanian1460 Just checking the vertical axis to make sure it's even. I don't want one side higher than the other.

Thanks a bunch! I love doing it! 😀

It helps keep the partials in place and softens the overall tone. Otherwise it would be blarey like a steel pan.

She never, ever stops bro.. haha. She is rat terrier mixed with border collie. That equals out to the most hyper active dog on the planet, I guess.. Love her to death but she can be several hand fulls. 😉

Thanks Cathy! I really like this one too. 😀

Ya, it is crazy how clear all the partials are. Really loved playing it before it found it's home. Thanks!

@@jrmhrpr sold already ? Still see it on the website 😱😰

@@DafruitYogi Darn, ya it sold. Forgot to take it down. There will be more in the near future! Just completed a Celtic that I can't stop playing. Very similar to this one!

@@jrmhrpr i see, thanks for the quick reaponse. This one has a real "Blues" tone to it, hits the spot! Excited to see the new one but I might have to put in an order for this bright soft touch beauty. Such a diverse scale.🛸
