I have started constructing my own stave shell for a snare
drum I want to make.  As I was looking on the internet for
information on the best ways to construct stave shells, I
came across your website and saw the phenomenal
woodwork that you do.  I saw the Tongue & Groove joints
that you carve into your staves, and it immediately seemed
to be the best joint for properly holding the shell together.

I was hoping you could give me some tips and tricks on how
to construct these grooves.  Because I am only 17, I won't
be able to invest very much money into making these joints,
but I would like to know if it is even feasible for me to try.
Thank You very much for your time and
consideration.

Sincerely,

Gus Courtsunis

I’m 24 years old wood artisan student from Finland. The institute of Crafts and
Design is located in Petajavesi Middle-FINLAND. I’m very interested in your drum
making methods and enthusiastic to learn create handcrafted drums. I’m also a
drummer, (for about 8 years) so I know something about drumming and the sounds of
the drum.
In my Institute there is a practical training period, which means that I’m learning
and working in the international training place for 8 weeks. The Institute is
willing to pay for my living and flights to the international workplace, so employer
would not have to pay me any wages.
My question is, are you willing or if possible that you would take me as a trainee
to your company in September 2009?

Yours
Akseli Maki from Finland
