👍👍 Very cool 👍👍 a couple of months ago I actually tried to build one of these. I picked up an octagon serving tray from wayfair for $40 & it was a total piece of crap & fell apart. Considering I'm using Black Limba in the rest of it, the build is currently on hold. I like yours ☺️

Thank you. Octagon is a pretty easy shape to make if you have a way to cut the 22.5 degree angles. I use a chop saw that locks in at that angle.

Hey man. Awesome playing. I'd like to build something like that. I'm from Argentina. Banjo is not an instrument very popular in my country. So there is no information about the plans, size, and any other technical detayls. Can you send me some information about the construction process please? Sorry about my english, I speak like a monkey. Gracias, saludos desde Argentina, maestro!!!

How long is the fret board. Is it the same as guitar. And the how long is the string from the bridge to the nut.

Did you put a truss rod in this? Thinking about building one myself.
@morbanjo2503
5 ай бұрын
No truss rods in any of my instruments. I usually laminate 3 or 4 pieces of maple and walnut together, making sure the grain is as nearly vertical as possible. This makes for a very stable neck, which isn't prone to any bowing.

Is the pot head (no pun intended) also cherry? I haven't seen something like this before.

The head is 3mm Baltic birch ply. Pretty inexpensive and works well.

Do you make your necks? And if so, what kind of wood do you use for them?

Yes, I make my necks. This one is cherry with a center strip of what I think is wenge. The fretboard is walnut.
