Cometh the banjo cometh the MAN! Uncle harry dropped over again today to update me and do some work on the new instrument, and boy its starting to feel mighty real. Today we fitted the neck and body together, fixed the tail piece screws and the neck brace. Harry completed the fretting last week, and now we need to drill and fit the tuners, fit the nut and bridge, string her up, and give it a go!
Here's a couple of piccies as my videoing went a bit wonky.
Let's not be timid about this, Andy. For the rest of us who want banjos just like that one that is now coming together, we need to go back one step before the spokeshaves and tenon saws. Medical science now has the means for us to clone Uncle Harry. Let's do it: let's put an Uncle Harry in every banjo player's shed.
