Good job on the video

👍👍 pretty cool.!. ☺️

Very helpful thanks. I noticed you don't build a middle wooden piece to the bodies of your mountain banjos. Is there a reason for this? Is the neck attached as a single piece to the top the top section of the body?

[@brncrvr]

Thank you. This is just my simplification of the foxfire banjo design. Instead of a middle ring I router out a ledge around the inside of the top plate- which serves the same purpose but requires one less piece of wood. I have the neck screwed to just the bottom plate heel on my latest mountain banjo kits.

How thick is the head of the banjo?

When are these banjos coming back in stock?

How did you cut the coffee can so cleanly?

[@brncrvr]

Start a hole with a knife in the side of the can then go around it with sharp scissors

[@PLINKER]

Are those just regular thumb tacks?

Tom Frost yes
