What is it?
If you guessed a banjo neck-to-body alignment jig, you would have been correct. The square fence at a 45 degree angle keeps a circle perfectly centered.
The jig holds the neck, dowel, and rim assembly in place while I square everything up.
I check the fit of the neck heel against the body at the correct angle.
The proper angle of the neck ensures the string height at the bridge will be correct. Once everything is right
the dowel is glued into the neck.
Ready for final sanding and varnish.
The neck is fretted, inlaid bound and ready for varnish.

Very nice work Mark and I am incredible impressed, appreciative and grateful. Thank you. You are the best!
