  • Thanks Doctor Steve. I appreciate the kind words. The cookie tin instruments are a lot of fun to build as well as play. There's an extra humbucker on my bench that may have to go in the next one. See you 'round!
  • Hey Mike, checked out some of your videos. Excellent playing. These cookie tins have great tone, look like a lot of fun.
  • Hey Michael. The bullet holes are some magnets from an auto parts store. You just gave me a good idea though. I'm gonna drill the centers out for sound holes. Why didn't I think of that? Thanks a bunch!
  • Nice work. Are the bullet holes used for sound holes?
  • Thanks Hank! I've got me a big old red cookie tin and I'm really thinking about making a dobro-style or lap steel type guitar out of it. But on the other hand I don't have a canjo left and I really miss not having one. But on the other, other hand, I found two more cigar boxes at the flea market yesterday...
  • Hey Mike,keep up the good work,canjos are great and there's plenty of 'em to go around,so no excuse for building just ONE more..lol
  • Hey Paul,
    Thanks for the kind words. The canjos are fun to build and play. These are all fretless but play pretty easily. There are some crude videos of these in action on YouTube. If you search Youtube for "mrbangham" you will see me trying to coax some songs out of them. Good luck with your builds. Gimme a yell if you get stuck. I found a neat workaround for the fifth string the other day. CUL8TR
  • I like the canjos. Nice work. I have the cans, have got to give it a try.
