I was going to post this in the makers section of the forum (but I'm not a maker) so I hope here is suitable.
I'm re-skinning and re-heading an ashiko drum and finding it difficult to source some 10" Steel rings from the UK. I wonder if there are any metal workers that can fashion 2 of these for me or take the 2 x 12" rings I have - cut then re-weld them to give a dia of 10"?
Here is an example of exactly what I want but they don't do 10".
The internal diameter has to be 10" give or take 1/8" and the weld needs to be smooth. Stainless, cold rolled 1/4" thick - the finish isn't too important as it will be wrapped in material.
I'm willing to pay for these - obviously, or trade for various other items. Post in thread of PM if you want.
Please help! I don't wanna be paying £30+ for 2 x 10" rings of steel!
