My first completed project in October was Banjo #309, a custom walnut A scale with an Electric-type tone ring.
#310 and 311 were stock banjos and are shown on the Banjos page. #312 was a left handed 12″ walnut banjo.
I also made a walnut mandolin and chicken head fiddle which are shown on their respective pages.
November started off well, with a batch of 4 banjos and a neck getting about half built in the first 6 days. Then some back trouble that had been slowly creeping in my direction caught up with me when I spent 16 hours working in the town hall on Election Day, and I was out of the shop for just over a week since I couldn’t stand still or sit for more than a couple of minutes. Starting yesterday I have been able to work a few minutes at a time and I’m hoping to be able to gradually increase productivity over the next week or two. I had hoped to make a cherry fiddle in the latter half of November, but that will be pushed back to December or later depending how things go.
