Oh man, no, and I've been asked by friends that it's hard for me to say no to. If I screw up on my own drums, that's one thing. I can always go back and fix it, or learn to live with a learning mistake. I'm not too keen on screwing up on somebody else's kit though. Don't get me wrong, I'm a careful person. I don't move on to the next step on any job until I've got the step I'm working on, perfect. I simply don't have the extra $ to replace somebody else's property if things go awry. I'm not a 'business' and I don't have insurance to cover those kinds of losses. Just being practical. I don't mind selling the kits I've refurbished, I'm proud of my work. But at least I know that the ones I do sell came out perfect-a-mundo.

Thanks for the kind words about my work. Means a lot to me coming from my peers.

I remember that burgundy project, came out looking awsome. Looking at it, it has the same lugs as the OP and it`s looking like it has only one odd drum now. Where all Grestch BD lugs slightly different then the toms ?

Pretty sure the BD lugs shared the same mold as the 16 & 18" FT lugs. The smaller toms and Floor Show snares had the smaller lugs. (I've been wrong before, tho'.)
