• Are you looking for a coupon code to buy my software? You can get one from lots of 3rd party sites but they won't work. My software never goes on sale and has never been discounted. The only coupon codes that are given is when I give a club presentation and I offer a discount to the attendees. Other than that, everyone pays the same price.

Anyone ever built a segmented banjo body?

There are youtube videos on this process and it seems to be pretty straight forward, especially if you buy a neck for it.
 
Here is my latest banjo uke. I unfortunately don't have a lathe yet, so I "turn" the rims on a pattern sander in the drill press.
One day I will get a lathe, hopefully.

Yes, I've made hundreds of block banjo rims. I sold them on The Banjo Hangout for about ten years. I recently retired from making rims and building guitars. I sold my custom made rim lathe and bought a Laguna Revo 18 inch to make bowls and boxes. I'll post some photos of a few rims after I figure out how to post them.

Figured it out.
Here's one of my banjo rims. Standard segmented bowl construction. A banjo rim is just a bowl without a bottom.
