The no-binding fingerboard thing is new to me. Nicely done.

Great, I really want to build some instruments one of these days. Not strictly related, but I can't help linking to that page when stringed instruments building is the topic : Kathy Matsushita's page.

My dad made banjos, amongst other things: stained glass, r/c airplanes, reproduction flintlocks, model trains, jewelry...
I did inherit the ADHD/love of learning, but absolutely none of his mechanical dexterity. I still miss him. We still have the first banjo he made. It still plays well.
Well, at least when someone other than me tries it.
