Frets fitted, position markers marked out (should have done this before i fitted the frets... makes life a lot easier but not having an organised workshop has thrown me somewhat) and tuning pegs marked out... next for some drilling.
In my old wooden cabin up in the hills of south east London I make banjos, canjos, cigarbox guitars and other things that go twang. Every instrument is fully hand made in the traditional way with a minimal use of power tools and usually using reclaimed timber (that way i can use exotic hard woods and sleep well at night). So if you are interested in buying a high quality unique instrument keep checking here or contact me if you would like to commission something. flatfootjohnny@hotmail.com

As you can see i have resorted to the floor of the tiny spare room... but hey at least its warm.

I currently have 4 commissions on the go here are some of them in progress. Luckily the good folks that have commissioned these instruments are happy to wait a while due to the fact that i dont have a workshop at the moment. I was however measuring up this morning and getting down to the business of designing my new one.
