- I am using wooden hammers (self-made) to do the sinking work.
One is rounded, and the other is rather flat with rounded edges. - I start with the right hammer hitting with the "sharper" head.
The smoothing will be done with the more flat ends. - You can also use an iron ball for sinking
- I have marked the center of the drum and drawn two "hypnotic circles" to control the
sinking process.
I have also marked the starting point at the seam for the same reason.
Protect your hearing!!!
The drum after a few rounds of hammering.
- The center part should be held DOWN by hitting it every now and then
so that the metal is TIGHT and tensioned.
