This is the workbench in my garage! As you can see, I have collected many cans for future projects.
I have now made six Can Banjos and one Cigar box Guitar. My first three projects are shown above and below.
This is my first Cigar Box Guitar. It is a six-string with a 22 inch scale length.
This is my 4th banjo, made from an old lunch box engraved "Janice Ludwig."
It is also pictured at the top of this page
