For the last few weeks I've been restoring and refinishing my banjo. It's an old Eagle kit from the 70's.

It's now finished and I wanted to thank all of you that helped me out.

It's not a pre-war or anything, but it's my little bit of heaven. Plus it sounds way better and the playability is wonderful. Who would have know that attempting to install coordinator rods 10 different times would have one good result. :)

Anyways...I wanted to share the fruits of my labor.
Here's pre-restoration:
