As the only recent mention of "banjo" was mine, I'm guessing that was
directed at me.

Yeah, I can frail -- well enough for around-the-woodstove
kitchen entertainment, not well enough for public performance.

And (desperate attempt to remain on topic) my rather
bottom-of-the-line Thompson & Odell 5-string has a small hand-made
iron part the serves to compensate somewhat for neck warp.

I've been meaning to make up a photoshop image of a half-full beer
bottle sitting on an anvil with an empty laying next to it.  Slightly
out of focus in the background is an 1890s-style sign proclaiming this
"Three Finger Forge".  Maybe also "One-Eyed Jack, Prop't".
