Hi all,

 

 Have decide to put some railroad spikes in my banjo, does any one have any spares or does anyone want some, if I am going to buy some I may as well get a few extras.

 

Cheers

There is a correct technique on fitting them. You need to know what you are doing so you don't stuff up the fretboard .

acousticbox.com/spike.html. This webpage shows you how to do it properly

Im planning on going to Mr Glyn in Auckland, only costs $5 per spike and will save me from butchering it.

Thanx for the link banjonz, though it is now <acousticbox.com/Spike%20Instal...Video.htm>
where I found 2 really useful informative videos.

Kiwi picker. I hope it goes well with Mr Glyn 5 bucks per spike sounds like a bargain. I'm too far from AKL to go there and I have most of the gear to do it so I shall.

Hi there, first of all make sure the raid road spikes are the mini kind ha ha, and I have put my own in several banjos using this method; get a pair of needle nose pliers to hold on to the tiny thing in the desired location, then bang it in with a hammer :-D
