First build, started and completed last week of February 2015. Have been building banjos for a couple of years when C.B.Gs caught my eye on the Internet. I'm addicted now, and joining the revolution. You people make some cool instruments.

I did think about making the tool box into an instrument but thought I might trap my fingers in the drawers. I'll have you know that was my attempt to do an artistic photo.................Ok I'll stick to the day job.

Well, that's a nice looking canjo. That's it in front of the red toolbox, right?

Hi Bruce the fiddle guitar you are referring to was actually made by Tom T but I wish it was mine. I have only just completed my second build which is a Canjo.

By the way Sparky, I really like the way you used that old fiddle to make a new instrument.  My wife plays fiddle, and I know those things are built to make sound.  I'll bet it sounds real nice- a lot of resonance I'm sure.

Thank you, Sparky.

I love the look of this head. It's really unusual.

Ahh, that good angle counts for a lot.

Comment by Bruce on March 9, 2015 at 11:44am

Thanks Uncle John,

I got about a 15 degree angle on that peg head.

Pretty head stock.  Nice lookin' fretboard.  Welcome.   One thing that seems true to me is that it is best to have about 2 inches or more between nut and nearest tuner to help  keep the strings in their slots.  Looks like good planning here for string line up.
