Thanks for the welcome...
Mike, I have three 5 string banjo's and all were made by Pavel Janish in the Czech Republic. I compaired them to Stellings, Gibsons, Ome...and others, just to find that I like Pavel's banjos better, plus I visited his home and shop and had one custom made for me.
Ralph......jea I knwo I'm a hillybilly.
Beer.....well, since I don't have a spare fridge for lagering,,, it mostly comes like a strong Ale......but aahhhhh l like it.
Toys to make.......I have been working on a custom bike, and quite a few parts are made by hand... or on my Rotwerk lathe, once I get my mill, life will be eaiser...
Model steam engine's are next.
