I haven't used composite materials for some time and started looking at them again recently.

I was wondering how I might create a drum 14" in diameter and 6.5" deep with a thickness of around 1/4".

Before you ask yes this is a music drum shell.

It's important that the quality of the shell is maintained on the inside and especially at the edges because the have to been machined at either 90 or 45 degrees.

These are being made by small companies in the US and in Korea but I wondered if it would require investment in expensive equipment?



Thanks 

PS I have added an example pic to illustrate the end result desired
