Needed:
Mandrel A (7mm), 32mm forstner bit, bush-
ing 110A
Preparing the blanks
1. Square and cut a blank 2” x 2” x 2 1/2”. Be
sure all sides and ends are square.
2. a. We recommend drilling the blanks on
the lathe if possible. Put the blank in a
chuck on the headstock. Put the 32 mm
Forstner bit in a Jacobs chuck/drill chuck.
With the blank turning, advance the
Forstner bit into the blank unl it exits out
the other end.
b. If you are using a drill press, clamp the
blank in a vise and drill a 32 mm hole 2 ¼”
deep into the blank. Don’t exit the boom
of the blank. It is important to be sure that
you are drilling straight and square to the
face of the blank so that the kit parts will
t without gaps.
3. Trim the end of the blank so the drill hole
is exposed, close to the 2” length needed
for the chrome tube. Make sure to make a
square cut.
4. Dry t the chrome tube into the blank.
It will likely be a ght t. Using 80 grit
sandpaper, scu out the inside of the hole
a small amount unl the chrome tube ts
in smoothly.
5. Scu the outside of the chrome tube
with 220 grit sandpaper for beer glue
adhesion.
6. Plug the ends of the tube with baseplate
wax to keep glue from going inside of the
tube.
7. Roll the tube in glue and insert into the
blank and set aside for the glue to cure.
8. Remove the baseplate wax and trim the
ends of the blank square to the tube on a
disk sander.
9. DO NOT TRIM THE CHROME TUBE. If the
tube is shortened the shaker parts will
not t properly.

Turning the blanks
1. Put the bushings and barrel onto the
mandrel referring to the image above.
2. Lightly ghten the tailstock to the
mandrel. Do not over-ghten the tailstock
to the end of the mandrel as this can
bend the mandrel.
3. Turn the barrel to the desired shape using
the bushings as a sizing guide.
4. Aer turning the blank, sand the surface
in progressive steps unl you get to 600
grit. For an extra smooth nish, connue
sanding with Micro Mesh through to
12,000 grit. Apply a nish of your choice.
Assembling the shakers
1. Press the boom end cap into the blank.
2. Place the plasc cup, open side up, into
the top of the barrel and seat it into the
boom of the end cap.
3. Press the threaded insert into the top of
the barrel.
4. Screw on the shaker cap.
Tips to remember:
• Accuracy is key when drilling and when
squaring the ends of the blank.
• Don’t trim the chrome tube. If you do, the
shaker parts will not t properly.
