I made the Wells Fargo box around 1985 when my dad gave me his table saw and some hand tools. Started a lot of fun things for me.
The white cigar box banjo is pretty decent. It is high g DGB. I had hopes of learning some claw hammer when I built it. That may never happen due to increasing hand troubles. But for now, I can still have a good time playing some other styles.
The pistol is Heritage Rough Rider in 22 caliber. Pretty and fun little gun. I have reconnected with 3 old co-worker friends from the 1970s. They shoot a lot and I have been out with them once and will go again soon.
The old blues hat, size 7 3/8.

He plays very well ragtime!!!
It depends on what and how the pianist plays!
Fascinating picture. But don't shoot the pianist!
Thanks, Dave. Thanks, Jim. There's always hope. I love the clawhammer sound.
Nice pic Unc. It's good to know there's other folks around with a big ol' 7 3/8 hat size. When I retired from the PD they were switching over to Glocks and retirees were able to keep their .38 S&W's. It's the only gun I've got and that's pretty unusual for a West Virginian. Oh, I think clawhammer may still be in your future.
Thanks, JB. Me too, Maddog.
Funny, Slim. Used to be a lot of fun and jokes in the workplace. Not so much now.....
Ha, AGP. That is a PEACE maker. Hey, I have been using Google Translator since I heard about it from you.
Your telling me! to "Make Love Not War" and you're packin' a "Six Shooter". lol :-)
Nice pic John, when I was a bus driver I made up a sticker for the front of my locker which said 'Sorry, but I can't come in to work today, the voices keep telling me to stay home and clean my guns'! Someone took offence and the management asked me to 'take it off, PLEASE'! also the one that said 'Will the young lady who left her knickers on the upper deck back seat of the last bus to Whitehawk please call into the garage where she can collect the bus, due to the cleaning crew refusing to having anything to do with said bus! NO sense of humour some folks, even some of the lady drivers found it funny, but not the boss apparently!
