Configurations Chapter One: The 6061 Lug Itself and On a Drum

Here’s a layout of all the practical ways 6061 Lugs can be put together. As we make more drums with these possibilities, we’ll add more examples here so you can see how these parts can fit on your drums!
Picture
*A range of node placements possible with these configurations
° °° °°° °°°° °°°°° are groupings which could show up in the Store in grouped listings with same pricing where they choose which one, similar to how we o
ffer different lengths of tension rods. We’d still have more individual pix shown here on the site page so as to describe the lugs, but we can make these store listings more compactly grouped
Photo Notes:
~Each number above, i.e. “#01” and “#02” is a unique picture with some exceptions.
~Sometimes two items have the same number, as in “#13,” which is where the Flush example for the picture can be photoed then one Node’s set screw loosened then the Node scooted so that the object becomes the photo example for the Custom configuration.
~Slightly di
fferent, sometimes 3 configurations share a number i.e. #04. This was just to conserve parts as we’re low on some AND it’d be easy for you to modify between pix: putting the Node Centered, then Flush = easy peasy. Then see the next point about CU
~If you’ve figured out how to make, and if it is practicable, GIFs for insertion as photoed items, the CU* items can be “animated” to show ideas of how the variable Node(s) can be positioned.
~So to double check, there’d be 32 item descriptions w/pictures of short-node lugs on the site and 32 item descriptions w/pictures of tall-node lugs.
~In light of a 2.5” tube shortage, and just to be practical, I’ve decided not to provide you two examples of each for photoing. Some ideas: 1) Pix a complete Lug from side view, 2) then another from Top view like an audience member would be looking at the Lug installed on a drum 3) then a pile of parts, i.e. 2 Nodes with set screws and backing washer/split washers/screw, a Tube “blown up” so they see exactly what they’re getting if they buy that item. In idea 3), the Nodes would be on profile and turned so they’re seeing that they’re getting Short or Tall Node(s) and with proper background whether their Node(s) are Pocket or Through. 4) a picture exampling thisLug on a drum when available. This can be facilitated by Command F to find Lug part number on the Production Log.

Somewhere in here, you can put pp 2-5 from 6061 Lug Drill Points & Lug Plots document

Configurations Chapter Two: More About 6061 Lug Positioning on Drums

​Lugs pictured above can be ordered à la carte for your own DIY project or retro-fit. If we’re making you a drum with these lugs, we’ll need a bit more info. That’s where the last part of the part numbers come into play.
[Here I want your ideas about how best to reiterate the last third or so of What’s your Number? under Anatomy of a Lug. Use part of the chart as well? I know it’s a reiteration, but I’d prefer that over just a link back to that page]

Configurations Chapter Three: 6061 Hardware on Drums

[Have on deck the pix of #06420A the Sub-Compact Nesting w/2.3mm hoops and #04220 6061 Vintage Project]
​You can choose to have any of the 6061 hardware installed on your new drum order. We’ve had folks think it was an all-or-none affair to have these new bits on their drums: that only applies of you’re going for a 100% Made in the USA build. If you just want these lugs instead of some chrome-plated thing, or if you like it all except you want different mounting brackets or standard spurs, we’re good! Let us know what you have in mind!
