Grandmas with an empty tin: Sowing kits
Grandpas:
Wow the boys locker room memes have really evolved
It's called a banjo
@@grantflippin7808 yeah we know, the thing is its made of a tin can, so the names canjo for this type of banjo.
I didn't even know those biscuit boxes could be used for anything other than sewing needles
SHIIIIIT. When you at your grandmama house and you see one of those! "mmmmmm cookies!" Then you open it and it's just sewing equipment. "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!"
@@xvelliseraptor At least you realized it before you put one in your mouth....
Truth Hurts Thankgod, bro
@@louis3141 sounds like you're speaking from experience.
Or spare buttons.
My friend: “So what kind of guitar do you play?”
Me: “Biscuit tin.”
Excellent video (including the background music). I think the best part of the build was the fact that this wasn't made in a fully equipped-no-expense-spared professional work shop. Very nice use of basic hand tools and low budget power tools! This makes even a guy like me feel that I could do the same. Bravo!
"why are there pickups in my sewing kit?"
I was not expecting it to sound that good. Awesome project man!
+July With Fitz me too, but it was a nice surprize! Of Course I played it through a fender blues junior which is an awesome amp!
The wooden volume knob was a beautiful touch
This is beyond my skill level but I enjoyed watching you work.
thank you very much

"Darling, I'm going to learn how to play banjo!" *continues by building a banjo*
Next week: "Darling, I'm going to learn how to steer a ship!"
"Oh no...."

Awesome! If I would've had my eyes closed when you played, I'd swear it was an electric banjo, factory made, and probably expensive! Nice work!
thank you
you are the kind of person that RUclips needs. thank you
I thank you
I like banjo music but couldn't guess a canjo can give such a good sound. Good job, sir.
i love how much you appreciate and respect your materials even if it´s "scraps". way to go!!
+Laura Kampf thank you very much, I appreciate it!
+Scrap wood City This is such an amazing creation! I think I'll try making my own soon! How long did the whole process take you roughly if you don't mind me asking? :)
+StickSkits thanks, just a few days
I never knew those biscuit tins were good for something other than grandmas old candies that no one has ever seen or heard about anywhere else
I would love to see a resonator guitar made in a similar build. Beautiful work.
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Loved the sound of it!
I made this cameo and now I’m opening for Jack White next Thursday. Thank you for posting this video. It has truly changed my life.
That's awesome, I really love the sound too :) you should have played your own background music, I would quite happily listened to more of your playing :)
+Swallow Forge thank you. I play the background music! ;)
@@ScrapwoodCity glad you actually play the backround music instead of just stealing it from someone else, but do you *really* sit there for thirteen minutes playing the same tune or does it loop so well I just don't know?
Formule pour la position des frettes :
L = longueur entre le chevalet et le sillet
n = n° de la frette en partant du sillet
x = longueur entre le chevalet et la frette
x = L × 2^n/12
Oh dear! Math and French in the same formula? Its a high school nightmare!! Or is that nuit jument? I don't know. Help!!!
I love the ultra fast motion with the saws and other tools. I love the fact that you left there audio in.
+Patrick Burns thanks
Always love hearing the instrument after seeing it put together. Love all the little details and craftsmanship. Also was happy to see your chisels are only in marginally better condition than mine. Thanks for posting and sharing.
+Matthew Friedrichs thank you very much
You are a craftsman, sir. Very nicely done!
An actual freaking banjo!
I saw and talked to Scott Ainslie last Friday, and have become obsessed with 'cigar box.'
I've seen a bass made from a stainless washer drum, Scott's is a cigar box and a recycled pool cue, a 'National Steel' from a cookie tin, and a wonderful thing made from stainless cookware but you've actually made a freaking banjo.
lol, thank you
This Guy is AMAZING! What a talented Craftsman!
Good stuff! I love homemade instruments like this and you do such a great job with them. Love how you make your own wooden knobs too. I might have to steal that idea.
+Makify1 thank you very much!
Oh Wow,, that is talent in so many ways. And ambition is a talent in its own right.
I live in Minnesota, I'll have to wait till spring to take my hat off to you...
Keep up the good work. .. ;-)
as everythink you make, just another awesome project again
Wow! It sounds awesome.
+Shake the Future thank you very much
Wow, thanks for the blind rivet tip! Never thought of that :)
Nice job! I love my cigar box guitar. Now I am inspired to make something like this!
+Mark Hanson thank you, glad you liked it
WOW! Good tone sound! Good job! Thnx for sharing!
Awesome work, idea, and sound! I swear I'm smiling for 5 minutes for the triumph of your project :) Thanks for sharing!
lol, thank you very much
Great video! Your instrument has a really nice sound. Makes me want to try to make one! Thank you for the fun video!
Makin your own lathe and then turning your control knob...Love that determination creativity. Skill and Art.
And you said you played the sound track too.Nice.
That chrome steel can looks awesome.
Thank you my friend
dont stop .love it all.
sounds great, looks great. thanx

Είναι πολύ ωραίο να βλέπεις ότι υπάρχουν κι εδώ άνθρωποι που πειραματίζονται έτσι!
Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ φίλε μου, χαίρομαι που βρήκες χρήσιμα πράγματα στo video. Καλά μαστορέματα
Very nice video, thanks for showing all the details. Other videos skip over what they think are simple steps but for us beginners are quite important.
thank you, glad you found it useful
Sounds REALLY good!
This was pleasure to watch! Awesome job man
Great build video, lots of great ideas you've used. I especially liked the neck construction.
thank you
Nicely done. Thanks for the lesson. Gee it really sounds good and twangy like a banjo ukulele. Good work.
the background song is literally stuck in my head now
lol
You make your own guitar and try to jam but that's the only song you can ever play 😂
Awesome workmanship and sound!!
That was vary impressive and it sounded great
oh my god the sound is amazing lol... great work!
VERY nice result, visually and musically.
Thank you
thats really cool how you can turn a biscuit tin and wood into a great instrument. props to you man.
+Roman “Zumbah” Bellic thank you very much
It's really nice to see someone making such a fine instrument with such basic tools !! 😲😁👍 I mean most RUclips videos out there the people making things usually seem to have the very best of tools which costs an arm and a leg and you end up drooling over the equipment used, but then never ever copying the thing that the RUclipsr is making because you know that you could never afford the tools in the first place 😲😲 but after watching this video I'm going to set up my own little guitar shop right now 😁😁😁👍
Thank you for the great video and the motivation, I have just clicked the like button and subscribed too 👍
Glen 😁👍
377 people thumbs down on this?
All I can say is- let’s see theirs.
My only suggestion would be to get a radius sanding block for the fretboard. Well done. You should be proud
This inspires me to build tiny string instruments in the near future...if only i had the right tools!
Great! I was looking for a way to build a banjo, and I think I've learned more from your video than from anything else :)
Excellent tutorial, really thank you!
Thank you very much, glad you found it useful!
Wow I love it ! Your videos are getting better and better (and more complicated). Keep it up!
+Roy Saad thank you very much
Super cool!
Great build rewarded with fantastic sound. Thank you.
thank you
Great video and build!
That came out great and sounds awesome! Nice work with the video too. Thanks.
thank you
WOW I can see me making this. Great job
Nice hand work. Its inspiring to see the drive in youth to make things.
Thank you
These videos are so satisfying to watch :D Love it!
+Rob Salaets thank you very much
that is a great build,and very impressive sound from it,thanks.
very glad you liked it, thanks
wow, this sounds way nicer than most of the home made guitars i see on here, nice job!
thank you
Awesome!
+Make it Extreme σ'ευχαριστώ πολύ αδερφέ!
Love the high speed hand tools.. nice touch! It actually sounds like a pretty passable 4 string banjo.😁 Cool project.. you and Justin Johnson would get along fine.😉
Joy to look at you at work
nice to hear that
great playing. the build is cool too
pretty cool how it retains a certain banjo tonality even through an electric pickup! I guess it's because of the way the note decays, and the resonance imparted to the string. Neat!
indeed
Sounds beautiful
Perfect your instruments and your job, you are a greatest artist !
thank you
Wow that sounds very good for homemade guitar
This video was a great help when I made my first guitar from a biscuit tin (my profile pic).
I've built some more now, and started my own channel.
Thank you!
Play camomile lawn episode, you
Like the video. Love the outcome! Very nice work!
Thank you
Parabéns!!
Cara o timbres ficou top, você é um artista meu mano.
You are definitely a creative and professional instrument builder. Inspiring to watch. Also a very well made video. What more can you ask for? MuchThanks for your work.
Thank you very much for the nice words
awesome stuff thats cool !!!

The heartache to realize that not only are there no cookies, but not even a sewing kit must've been insurmountable
Another fabulous instrument love it
+GenTal1969 thank you
this is so cool
Soooooo cool!!!!!!!! A truly talented man!!!!
Nice! Sounds good
awesome...I'm totally amazed!!! I love this guy
thank you very much
Sounds good!
This is awesome and is certainly my next project. I just finished my third, and best yet, cigar box guitar.
thanks. Feel free to post photos of your projects in my Facebook page if you want!
Brilliant. Would love to try to make that. Always wanted a workshop. Just waiting for the lotto.
really nice build...I burnt out on my builds...this style of build might get me started again...Justin Johnson is cranking out some great sounds in these...thanks.
Thanks. I know that guy, he is really groovy!
Sounds Awesome
Great video my friend. I believe that is the sound im looking for. When I try your box canjo I will get back to you. Ive only done some neck work. At one I had read all books on st.string guitar building. So yours and cigar box builds are on my agenda. Thanks again. Good job.
Awesome to hear that! Good luck on your builds!
Speechless !!! It's awesome my friend !
+Stamatis T thank you very much

It is awesome, to say the least. Great sound~ thanks for sharing~ Great job
Thank you
Impressive!!!
As a proud owner of an oil can guitar, I've to say that you shouldn't remove that sweet - a grandma reminder - texture of the box! Nice video mate. Congrats.
Lovely instrument! Well done!
+Dutchhorse thank you my friend
