Part 1 how im making my "hank drum"

here are the BASIC blueprints for my hank tank:

first we took off the basic metal-ring stand at the bottom of the propane tank, because the base will be used as the "playing" part of the instrument

Then, we took the plans, and after a long time a kinko's we blew them up to its needed size.


We made copies of this blow up and got them ready.


We cut out the "tongue sizes" for the hank drum which act as templates and taped them to the propane tank.


we took measurements of how far they need to be from each other and spaced them out correctly according to the blueprints


We lightly marked it with pen indicating where the drum needs to be slit.




ill continue the rest another day, all thats left is to slit the tank and add a little innovative features of my own ;D... but thats for another time.

-til next time!
