Title: homemade octobans/quarter toms Post by: a_read_so_deep on January 22, 2008, 01:04 AM For the longest time ive been using roto toms to increase my tonal spectrum but I hate the way they look and they are barely holding up.
does anyone have any experience making their own quarter toms, if so give me tips on the process. I was going to try to build some a while back but the home improvement store I went to didnt sell pvc pipe in 6 inches outter diameter Title: Re: homemade octobans/quarter toms Post by: Louis on January 22, 2008, 10:22 AM didnt sell pvc pipe in 6 inches outter diameter Most pipe is sized by ID (inside diameter). It will be difficult to find exactly 6 inch OD. You could try some schedule 80 or higher 5 inch and that should be almost 6 inch OD, at least within a quarter inch or so undersize. Your best bet would be contact your local heat/ac contractor and find some PVC Ducting. You can get that in many large sizes and it is measured in OD if I remember correctly.

Anderson International sells the maple tubes and there are a few places that sell the acrylic tubes (which are the most expensive).
