Making a bownjo - experimental DIY bowed instrument using a drum as a body

In this video I make a bowed instrument that uses a small drum as a body and has a basswood neck. You can find similar instruments in several cultures of the world. My inspiration came from instruments like banjo, yaylı tambur, erhu and Iranian kamancheh. Tools and materials I propose: Mini drum: Drill press: Cordless drill: Bandsaw: Forstner bit set: Chisel set: Block plane: Flat file: Flexcut starter carving set: Wood burner: Round file: Spoke shave: Cabinet scrapers set: Rotary tool: Mask Respirator: Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links, meaning, that at no cost to you, I get a small commission if you click through and make a purchase.
