Banjo build

[curly]

Have any of the good folks out there ventured into banjo building .
I'd love to hear of any source books / online tutorials that were of use . I have the Siminoff book but it's for a bluegrass build , I'm going for the old time open back style .
So as to start the banjo bigotry myself , I do indeed come from a long illustrious line of white trash so should be well qualified for the project .

Martin the silent assasin , never met a bloke who can say so much, with so few well chosen words.

Cheers,
