out cast.....

From mbj35758 on 3/16/2012 5:04:20 AM

ok I am now a fan.  I picked up an old stew mac pot put a cheap pawn shop telecaster neck on it and made a 6 string banjo. I may have succeed in offending every one...lol  In all truth it does quite well playing jazz chords and closed chords, it makes a wonderful travel guitar (small light with a full scale neck).  I will pick another pot up in a heart beat, since they really seem to work. I have a great banjo already so this is just something I did to use up parts sitting in my shop.  It is to bad that these pots are not being made any more, I mean how much cool can you get for so little. I have made a few stainless steel rims in the past that work very well, but, the cost of drill bits kinda elimates that deal.

I would like to find a dynaflow transmission from the 60's because I belive the turbine in the torque converter is alumnim and may have banjo potential.  Any one that has one or has taken apart a torque converter?  maybe....
