I make early and oldtime banjos in my green roofed cabin in the hills of SE London. I try to use only reclaimed or U.K. felled trees.

The Flatfoot Johnny ant farm. This is my workshop twin wall skylight. The ants on my greenroof use it as a pupa nursery and an egg hatchery. They move the pupae to the top in the morning then bring them back down in the eve. I assume it's temperature related

GO ON WILMA!!!!! My '68 Humber Hawk has been in the garage since the end of 2019 with the plan to do her up... all I managed was to replace the water pump. This was the first time starting her in nearly 5 years!!!.... incredible!

Shortnin Bread. More fun with my latest build... my phone really doesn't do justice to the tone of this one. Go to my profile for some close up pics of this banjo.

I had to quickly record this lovely tune before the new owner came to collect his banjo. 21" scale curly maple neck local, grown gourd.

Having not played guitar in over 15 years (I couldn't really play it properly anyway), I've decided to learn a few songs. Here's Waiting for a Train by Jimmie Rodgers. I'm playing a 1930s parlour guitar that I found, in a terrible state, in a charity shop for £12.
