handmade steel-rim banjo

Very similar to some old 1800s banjos. Really cool man.

Sounds like a horse clip clomping along. Nice job on that banjo. Makes a good sound.

Your banjo has a really unique sound... that I like a lot. Good job building it!

How was the rim formed?  Ring roller, cut from pipe or bent by hand?

[porkyars]

i hand bent the rim, hook bracket, and tension hoop, all to fit each other. I know its not the best way to do it and by no means perfect... but thats what i had.

Nice banjo. I like the "primitive" sound of it (IMO, at least). I've been progressively trying to get my banjo to sound a little less manufactured, more primitive / old-school like that.

Also, really nice clucking at 1:07. I can't figure out how to do the cluck.

Nice job on making the banjo :)
