Thanks !!!

In the future I will try to make sparkle finish. Pink sparkle or yelow sparkle, orange sparkle could be very very funky..... :p

If anyone know something about products and technics (sparkle), I'm interesting !

Another photo : the future hardware of PINK MAMA before chrome.

Hi,

Moperc use stainless steel (inox), mine are steel and I have to chrome it.

I think I will use stainless steel too if I made other drums in the future, this is more expensive, but I don't need to chrome it. And I love the coulour.

I made the hardware you can see on the photo in stainless steel for try. It's very strong and solid 10mm lugs (but the weight is heavy !!!)

I think I will make a fiberglass drum with this hardware, for try, and my back will tell me if the weight is too heavy !!!

Galou.

Hey Galou

I can see that you changed the angle of the hook for Pink Mama.. ;)

An by the way, you still need to give me a final price for the hooks you are making for me.


Ciaoooù

Nice work.
