Just completed yesterday – waiting for the strings to stretch out before tuning. final assembly steps are fast and easy as long as you watch the videos a couple of times

Thanks for the quick response – that’s what I thought about the tack holes – I will probably make a nailing jig for that so I don’t overstress the rim or my knee – I’ll send pics when done with the jig.
I am in no rush for the assembly, so I will wait for the video. Last question: is there any caveat about staining the rim? leaning toward black walnut for the rim.

I first got into the banjo during COVID – I was inspired to learn to play from watching the Ken Burns documentary on Country Music. not a direct line, but that’s the story I’m sticking with.
Learning basic tunes and workings of the banjo have opened up my mind to the versatility of the Banjo, and fueling my desire to grow with the instrument.
I mainly focus on 2 finger and clawhammer styles, as they are similar, slower, and I think a bit more emotive. I found Carver Banjo through Mandy on Banjo Lemonade, and was instantly hooked. I am a big believer in an old adage from my father – If you build it, you truly own it.

Thanks!
