cadman Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Bamabass, yes it can be done, cause I am in the process of doing it right now. I can't go into detail, but I can give you some help. You can buy metal sleeves with rattles in them. Then you place them in the mold, and pour your lead. Two things to overcome. 1 is positioning of rattles, and 2 is the problem of lead is used many times as a sound deadener. So your rattles won't be as loud. Good luck......

fish devil Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 In college I used to make glass rattles. I took some flint glass tubing from a chem lab and would use steel bb's. Put a few bb's in the tube then heat it up and pinch ends closed. You can form the glass so it can be used with a skirt band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
