This weekend I have finished the Steampunk banjo. After playing this weekend I will add an armrest this week. The sound still goes wrong up the neck but is better than the last.

| The nut is a cut down bolt |
 |
| The dots are 3mm live edge red acrylic |
 |
| The metal strip at the back has the red dots the whole way through. |
 |
I have used a black cable for the strap.
The tailpiece is vintage. Its from my friends Vals banjo spares.
As is the two lower tuning pegs.
