A traditional gavel that I made from English Laburnum fitted with Sterling silver metalwork, the head ismade in three seperate pieces and screws together beneath the central furrule, then the handle is fitted through the soldered ferrule and into the timber itself, it also has a matching striking plate.

A practice drum pad and sticks that I made but just never really got the hang of playing properly, I had severl lessons from a freind and ex Irish Gaurdsman and expet drummer, the pad is made of a thick section of sole leather and is fitted so as it is domed away from the wooden plate below, this aids the bounce and works very well, the sticks I made from English Holly and the other pair from Cox's Apple wood, bothe very hard wearing with good spring and response time.

My own leather clams, these are the seated type where you place the cross bar at the bottom under your legs in the seating position and grasp the work by turning and closing the jaws, they work really well and hold really firmly as the jaws cannot be prised open, made from English Oak.
