    I think that, like many of these projects, you do the best you can on the first one and see how it goes...there's always room to improve on successive ones if it feels like you're doing well and you like doing it. Do the best that you can with the materials that you can get your hands on...you'll probably be surprised at the results and encouraged to keep on taking it to the next level.

    just do.

    Best

    Alright thats the kick in the butt I needed to get going on this project. I am going to go pick up some thin raw hide. . . .find a wooden hoop somewhere, (I hope not to have to order it) and stretch the drenched skin over the hoop and secure it with some of those furniture tacks. Lace it up and create a beater of some sort. Theres the plan. . . . ONWARD!
