We have guests this weekend, and the boys wanted to make canjos. Not only did we make canjos, we made history: the first two-string canjos I have ever made! Pretty successful, and always good to get kids in the shop making. An eleven year old and a six year old, and they did great and came out with some pretty good instruments. Two string canjos. What'll they think of next? The eleven year old, as we were working, said "One string canjos are the past! Two string canjos are the now!"
Here they are using a dozuki saw. I think we need to be introducing kids to this kind of work at much earlier ages.
