  • I marked 1.5 inches high all around the can with a fine tipped sharpie. I used a dremel with a cut off wheel to cut the can. It can be done with a fine tooth hacksaw but you have to support the can on the inside. Clamp a 2 x 4 off the bench and hang the can on it. Then use light cuts.

  • How did you cut the Coffee tin for the tone ring?  I've been wanting to build one of these and that's the part I can't figure out

  • Thank you! I enjoyed it and the reading, too.
  • Here’s a video of the Frank Proffitt fretless banjo being played:

  • I'm impressed! Beautiful job on shaping and sanding. Are there any videos to see how it sounds?

  • I'm with UJ on this.
  • Thank you kindly Uncle John!
  • That is a gorgeous instrument.
