September was not a terribly productive month, but I got 4 stock banjos built. Banjos 305-308 are shown on the Banjos page. I also had a fun project fitting a neck I had made for another customer’s banjo pot onto a newly assembled thin-wall pot with a Dobson tone ring. The rim was very nice, and the customer got it from Nordic Shells. I had had an email from them about the banjo rims they are offering now, but this was my first experience and I was favorably impressed.



I was gone for 5 days in September to visit my sister in Massachusetts, and then I went for an unexpected camping trip to Middle Saranac Lake in the first 3 days of October. One of the nice things about being a banjo builder is that I can just wander off on short notice at times. I had thought it was too late in the year for summer-like conditions, but we had them and also scenic foliage, which was a nice combination. Here is a link to the trip report and pictures if anyone would like to see them:

In October I have a custom banjo scheduled, and also hope to make one or two chicken head fiddles and at least one more stock banjo.
