How to make a gas can banjo 2

Several people have asked me how to make the gas can banjo so I made 11 videos, detailing step by step, how to do this, and also how to make a 5-string conversion on a 4 string banjo neck. Thanks to mrjrondeau for commissioning the project..

would it be possible to put the neck on the other side of the handle? i found an old gas can but the neck won't fit in between the cap and handle. if i put it on the other side, do you think it would still work? thank you

@ghsr82 I cut the handle off one recently. Do whatever you have to do to work around that handle. It'll still work..

Would this work with a 6 string guitar neck and guitar tuning?

@MasterEled Don't see why not.. I've seen it done..

@rpeek is there a way to convert a guitar neck into a banjo neck?

[rpeek]

@hojoslugger301 Yep. Go find edda520's channel and look at his rat rod banjo, made it out of a converted guitar to banjo neck and a tea pot.. Tell him I sent ya. hahaha.
