I don’t get many problems like that. I mostly do repairs and people give me more than I ask for, usually violins and bows.

@darrenking I suppose I could play jazz banjo on mine but it’s really for Irish music - whoops

@darrenking Thanks I know how to wind him up now. Mine was from Clareen Banjos in Ireland, cheaper than buying the parts.

Think I’m the king of over ordering. In the 90s I bought lots of wood and will probably never get to use it. Going to review my stuff this year and se...

@darrenking Nothing wrong with a banjo. That’s mine with a custom strap made by a friend locally.

@tej Welcome to the mad house, insanity rules so let it rip

@lemonshoes Forgot to say, if it’s your first build undercut frets are hard to do and it’s easy to spoil the binding. Are you planning to cut them t...

@lemonshoes I think if you installed binding on a non radius fretboard and then tried to radius it the binding would probably get damaged. For insta...

@robin Top prize would be to reach the Carol Cam

@cheesewhisk Is a guitar making video game a possibility. Virtual reality might help us to get all the mistakes out of the way.

@keondb If you need to make a curved slot try making a curved scraper to match a curved bottom nut then scrape it front to back.

@keondb Ok I think I picked you up wrong. Do you check the nut to see if it’s flat, a lot of new ones are not. I use a thin chisel as a scraper to g...

@koendb I use the same set up as for cutting the fret slots but with a tapered fret board it’s more difficult to get it square. Clamps as well as ta...

Looks like it’s going to be an LP summer
