Thanks Uncle, i've got to try that. Sounds like a natural for a kid's workshop or such. The frame looks sturdy and easy to make.

Sure, Dave.   Jim Morris has a video that tells in depth, but all i did was cut a 2L 7UP bottle to rough fit.  Staple on.  Apply heat with heat gun and the plastic tightens up nicely.   Mine really sounds good too.  

I think Jim has used the plastic off store bought sheet cake tops too.

Doing the thing Uncle? could you explain a little. Heat gun involved?

Frog, it works great.  Jim Morris has a video on using the plastics like this.

John, I like the build. Hadn't heard of that idea yet. Looks like a sweet instrument.

Thanks, Dave.  It sure has the banjo sound and volume.

Great idea Uncle. Trim might be a bit much...

Cast nuts??

Also,  I've thought about hiding the staples with trim pieces.

Gary, it sounds great.   I wish I would have had just a bit wider piece of plastic than the 2Liter 7Up bottle.  If it gives me troubles, I will repace it with a plastic cake cover.
