2015 Twin Cities makerspace workshop I designed and led: 7 friends, 16 hand-built ashiko drums, start to finish from raw lumber through goatskin head. Includes the table-saw sled jig for compound stave cuts, CAD geometry, build photos, and notes on running a multi-skill-level workshop.
150+ Native American style wooden flutes built between roughly 2018 and 2021, plus the parametric design table covering G3 to A4 and the build registry tracking each flute's wood species, key, dimensions, and build outcomes. Methodology learned from Blue Bear Flutes.
Engineering documentation for a stave-built djembe — a technique I built drums with at Morgan Drums (St. Paul, MN) starting in 2008. Combines original college research on djembe acoustics, CAD geometry of the goblet body, and jig design for cutting the varying compound miters. Predecessor to ashiko-drum-workshop.
Engineering documentation for stave-built fujaras — the deep, harmonics-driven Slovak shepherd's flute, traditionally 5-8 feet tall and tuned to play melodies from the natural overtone series rather than from finger holes. UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Includes a parametric design table from D2 to F#3.
