Thanks Maddog. Makes sense. I'll do that sometime.
Thanks Wes! Ya old drum catcher ;-)
Also, when you hammer the lids like this it stretches the metal and gives it a little higher and more distinct sound. More reso/banjo in my opinion. Plus they look kinda cool too :-)
It's the lid of a gallon size bean can Andy. I have a jig that I place the lid in so just the outside lip rest on th edge of the jig and then hammer it's shape with a ball peen hammer. It takes a little finesse so as to not hit the lip or the center of the lid and a LOT of smacks (not really smacks, more like taps) with the hammer to get to the outcome you see.
So (forgive my not-knowing, IOW ignorance) the reso is a can, a whole bean can, that you hammered into its current shape? So, how did you hammer it into that shape without breaking or splitting it?
Thanks John! The tailpiece was actually a brand new tablespoon when I started, some heat and smacks with the forging hammer and boom...old :-)
I like the sound from hammering out the reso, gives it a banjoish sound. And EVERYONE loves the banjo right??? Well I do anyways ;-)
River was calm even with a stiff breeze. Put the boat away for winter otherwise I might of went out next few days. :-(
Nice git, Nice rusty-assed tail. The river looks calming and good.
If people knew how good your hammered bean can resos sound, they would be begging you to hammer and sell them some. I had one on an old factory built git that I converted to a Maddog reso. I regret letting it leave my hands, but the new owner is pleased.
