Canjos are simple and alot of fun ! Aluminum drink can's work well, regular old tin vegetable cans work and sound different and candy/cookie tins work also. Best of luck with building one !!!
Roland, canjo's are pretty basic. A piece of wood (I fret mine diatonically like a dulcimer) a can and a string. Fretting with one string isn't much of a challenge. They sound kinda like a tinny banjo. I get totally zoned out pickin' out church hymns, old folk and kids songs ... It's super simple and alot of fun !!!

It look so easy and fun to play Rob. Have to build one.
Maybe thats a good start to learn the art of fretting.
I was looking at youtub and it sound like its possible to make lots of different "tonepictures".
I will start looking for nice can at once.
