That was *very good* playing! : ) My point was that a $500 guitar might
sound better than $300,000 speakers. There was a poster at
rec.music.makers.guitar.acoustic, now basically defunct, who frequently
wrote, "Shut up, and go play your guitar!". So I sort of stole his
line, but, lacking motivation to spend $300,000 on a speaker (is that
for a pair?), it felt like an appropriate reply. : )

Although I find the intro to be a little bit "notey" (with repeated
listening), I really like this one: Louis & Clark, by Tommy Emmanuel

I'd rather play my banjo.

I'm contemplating making my own. A friend has a pretty elaborate wood
shop and will allow me to turn a 11" pot (rnd banjo body) on his 11-1/2"
wood lathe. I reiterate, he will ALLOW ME --IOW, ain't gonna do it for
me!-- to use his lathe. Cool enough.

While I've not used a wood lathe since I was in the 8th grade, I usta
be a prototype machinist, so get the drift of a lathe. Besides, I
suspect my buddy will be "micro-magaging" the crap outta me while
steadily looking over my shoulder. (I damn sure hope so!)

Hi nb,

An interest in banjo making ("minstrel" style) preceeded me finding this
group in the first place (I started realizing I didn't know as much
about working wood as I thought I did, and thought I better get on
it). Anyway, I just wanted to mention that the pots are usually not
turned, the wood is "steamed" and bent around a jig and clamped. The
grain will be working "for you" this way, instead of against you. If
you did as you described it would probably not take long for the pot to
split in two, unless perhaps you left the "back" on it (and I can't
really see why you would). I understand that the hard part of steam
bending can be accomplished with a piece of PVC tubing large enough to
hold the piece of wood. There is probably a YouTube video. Have you got
a design for your banjo?

Cheers,
Bill
