How to build a mountain banjo.

[@hal4192]

What a great video. 🙂 Very helpful. I'm going to try to build one. Best wishes from the UK.

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

Excellent thank you, you can email me at [e-mail] and I’ll send you a diagram if you like.

[@hal4192]

@@DrCharlesWAdams I will do...and thank you very much. That's very kind of you.

[@tsuchang1]

Very old friend indeed. Thanks Charles. Ya did a good job on the build and the video.

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

Thanks, of course I meant we’ve known each other a long time but it does make you very old, me too I guess.

[@krystofmeier7642]

Thanks a lot for the video. I recently realised that I like to make things that generate sound. I made a 2-string slide cookie-tin guitar and a scrap-wood dulcimer. Now wanting to up my game, I bought Foxfire 3, but still couldn't quite wrap my head around few things. You managed to clear that for me, so thanks a lot! :)

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

My pleasure, Thank you for letting me know. If you want my diagram with measurements, just message me your email address. Happy building

[@DaveAlvarez-c2v]

I was inspired by your video to build a version of your banjo. My background is as a woodworker (worked 17 years in cabinet shops and 40+ years amature woodworker) and I've only recently acquired access to the equipment allowing such a build. I'm at the stage of attaching the skin onto the wooden 'tone ring' (really an old tamborine) which I will do within the week. Then I'll tackle the neck and neck joint. Just thought you'd like to know. P.S. If you are sending out copies of your original banjo dimensions it would surely be handy for me go get one.

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

I am very happy to hear that, and glad you are enjoying it. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

[@deanraf]

Thank you much. This helped me understand the process!

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

If you like you can email me at [e-mail] and I’ll send you a diagram. Very glad you enjoyed it.

[@potatokitty]

Now this is what I need.

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

Very good you can email me at [e-mail] and I’ll send you a diagram. Glad you liked it. Thank you

[@PeterPeer]

Thanks! This video is great! I feel inspired now to build one myself. It will be a fretless one (though I like the idea of the toothpicks :-) ).

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

Cool, thanks

You just got to love a man of God and then he takes out a banjo God sure is good and in my opinion pretty fun thanks lord and you too pastor

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

Thank you so much brother

[@Irish-eyes-793]

Great video Dr.Adams! I am curious on how much time does it take you to build a banjo. About how much does it cost and they have kits for sale usually starting at $350. I’ll take you up on the email offer for the diagram if it’s still available and thanks for the motivation. Best, Brian

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

It should cost much less than $350, I don’t think it’s very many man hours. Email me at [e-mail] and I’ll reply with plans.

[@Irish-eyes-793]

@@DrCharlesWAdams Ok excellent! I was thinking the same thing. Sorry about the book I had to edit this.

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

@@Irish-eyes-793 I haven’t seen the email yet. Of course my diagram is free and I’m happy to answer any questions and help any way I can. Which university do you work for. If nothing else, my mobile phone number is, 5412701705

[@benjaminmelikant3460]

Any chance you still have the parts diagram laying about for this? Working on a compact banjo to take to work with me and am looking for inspiration!

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

Yes, I have it, if you could email me at [e-mail] I would be happy to send it to you.

[@ragalb4019]

Super helpful video thank you!

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

Thank you, if you would like a diagram message your email and I’ll send one

[@ProfesserLuigi]

Say, what kind of 5th string tuner do you use and where do you get them? And, if I may ask, how much did it cost?

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

Kaiser 5th string tuner. I got it on Amazon for $14.

[@genemiller291]

How do I get a copy of your banjo plans. I'm 82 years old and love to build cigar box guitar in my garage.. I give them away after I build them Thanks , Gene miller...

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

Gene I just need an email address. Email me at [e-mail] and I’ll send you the plans

[@chrishall1980]

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

Chris, I’d be happy to, is there an email I can send it to.

[@JoséMiguelAndrade-p7c]

Hi. Can you please tell me what is the nut dimensions? thank you

[@DrCharlesWAdams]

The nut would be 1 1/2 inches wide like the neck. Approximately 1/4” high and 1/4” deep. It has been a long time since I built that particular banjo and I sold it a couple years ago. I hope this helps you.
