When i went to the link for the magazine, i found an article about Cigar Box Guitars. The editor of Make Magazine, Makezine, was on the radio show sharing ideas about things you can make from common items in order to recycle or reuse them. |

It is quite hard to find a wooden cigar box these days...almost as hard as it is to find a wooden cigar store indian. |

There was a thread not long ago on the subject of cigar box banjos and guitars, put cigar box in the forum search and you will find it. The site given on that thread was, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cigarboxguitars Hope this helps, it's a good subject....and I'm still hanging on to a nice, (although plywood), chocolate box, I'll get round to making one, one day. There are of course,several sites out there on making you're own instruments out of bits, this one especially. http://www.ehhs.cmich.edu/~dhavlena/ Well worth a look. Cheers Cattail |
