Calderwood Shop Day - 23 April 2022
No filming last week due to contract work and an NDA. If we ever get the green light to share the contract work, we will.
I scuff sanded 4 shells, which Bill later sprayed. 2 Toms were wrapped and are ready for edges. 2 Hoops were cleaned up sprayed - 2 more drilled, sanded, and ready for paint.
18" rope drum prep sanded and first pass of dye, rope drum for Central Texas Musical Arts almost complete, and a quick update on the stave shell and black metal drum.
We also had a side mission involving a stolen box truck, which turned out to belong to a plumbing company one town over. None of the tools stolen (wrenches, pipe threader, cooper), which was surprising since the back wasn't locked ... just a joy ride or failed attempt to get away.

Don't buy wrap from Walopus. Horrible quality, false advertising, and abysmal customer service.
