Along the side of the neck I took metal stamps and put the fret positions numbers on to make it easier to play TABS.

Cool Idea Mike, have a set of Metal Stamps, but never thought of using them as Fret Markers, thanks for the idea  :-)

Great idea! Nice canjo all around.

I worked with a bunch of machinists/tool makers that referred to those sets as 'Flintstone typewriters'!   Nice!

Go ahead and use the idea, I'm sure someone else had the idea before me anyways. I only thought about it because I gave a canjo to someone and they made the comment that it would be easier to play the TABS if the canjo had numbers on it.  I bought the 1/8" steel stamp kit at Harbor Freight for $11.00.

Good idea Mike! I might have to borrow it.  : )
