How to Build a Hank Drum

Step 4Preparing for the Cut

Preparing for the Cut
Print off and apply the tongue template to the top (what used to the bottom) of your tank. Mark where the tongues will be. If you will be changing the tuning of the drum as I did, go ahead and mark the tongues and adjust accordingly later. The template can be found at http://www.ehhs.cmich.edu/~dhavlena/lp-hang-template.jpg

To prepare for the cut, drill small connecting holes or dremel out a slit long enough and wide enough to insert your saw blade. Proceed to cut along the guide you traced earlier stopping about 1/4" from the end. Do this for every tongue.
