Installing Banjo Capo Railroad Spikes Part 1 

I love to see people devote themselves to proper hand craft in these times

Excellent. Installed 3 spikes successfully in 30 minutes

Thanks for the videos. After watching and learning from you, I summoned enough courage to try installing spikes in my banjo. No more unsightly sliding capo on the neck :)

Thanks for this vid. I am ready to do the spikes on banjo and I wanted to see a vid. Bang, here it was

WOW thsxs for actually teaching me something useful.

just bought me a set of spikes from the Banjo Ben Clark's website. i will be using this video when i put them on

hey, thanks for makin' that available..appreciate Ken Smith

OK....Thanks Richie, good advice.

Sounds like Tom Hanks is giving the lesson! Thanks!!

Thanks for all the great info .... but you didn't point out where the spike goes, in relation to the string ..... which side of the string does the hole get drilled , and how close to the string ... ? Thanks again for the help... keep 'um coming ..

Great video. U sound like Tom Hanks:)

@RichieDotson There ya go ... thanks ... we now know all we need to know about those banjo spikes :) (I still think I will look you up and have YOU do it.)

Does it matter which way the spikes face because I have a Deering Classic and the spikes were installed by the factory facing up and they do slip out sometimes and it is a pain. Was this done wrong at the factory?

Are you installing the spikes directly under the 5 string?
