Mr Porta, I just wanted to tell you that I used what I learned in this video to make the most beautiful drumstick for a friend. I adapted your instructions to make a beater for a small frame drum. The head came out beautifully! It really is a gorgeous, very firm, and graceful thing. Thank you again. 😁

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I needed to do the 'tying' part a few times to get it right, but I got it. 👍

Very nice job I do my sticks pretty similar to your style

Thank you. This is a really well done and comprehensive how-to video. I really appreciate your guidance.

I would like a video of you playing the pow wow drum

Very cool! I love the skill and talent used to make those! Much respect! ✊🏽

Wow! I have been looking for this. This is fantastic!!!!!

Thank you my sun

Good job man. I make mine a tad differently but these are beautifully crafted. Aho to that!!!

I am also really interested in the dimensions you used for the leather. Or the method you used to get such an awesome fit. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Very helpful video, keep up the good work!

the measurements of the leather for the head and handle would be great, i'm about to make some drum sticks for when pow wow is back on :)

Thanks!!!!

What are the pattern dimensions for the leather covers of the handle and head?

I also would like the measurements of the leather used for the handles and head of the drumsticks

Thank you for this! 🙏

Do you have a template of the leather for the head of the drumstick? Even the dimensions might help cut the leather appropriately. Thia video is amazing!

I'm not sure if I missed it How many feet of threat should I start with?

Looks like you also have arthritis in your fingers, like me. How is it going? Are you still able to do most things?

Hi Don , do you have this available to buy as a make yourself kit ? Great project for my 10 year old grandson, thank you. Ron in WA.

Hey Don Porta how much do you charge to make a pair I would love to make myself but I am diabetic and my hands and fingers don’t work that good anymore but if you make I will purchase thanks 🙏

how i sew the leather i do it under and under

Is it alright using a stick from the Bush? Like will it last long?,

What kind of leather do you use

What size is the leather cover, no info on video on that
