Well, every time I go to the city I have a problem that I have to pick up some cigar boxes and finally today I put them all together and had way more than I expected. I thought maybe 20 or 25, nope not even close, I have 72 cigar boxes....wow.   Anyone else have this problem, hahaha.   What I really need is a second person to help me make gittys. lol

OK, I'm jealous of your collection.  It must be nice to have 6-7 of the same box...

Nope, Doesn't look like a problem to me!  96 and growing.  who cares that I only made 69 guitars, 3 ukes, and a dozen or so diddley bows in 3 years...  I NEED THEM...

Thank God I'm normal. I'm just on my first build....and I've got 6 more boxes waiting.
Man I'd love to have the problem of too many boxes. Local tobacco shops near me look at me sideways when I ask if they have cigar boxes. I give em a 'bout this size' with a hands gesture. Nuffin. Technically I haven't made a cigar box yet coz I'm using box shaped wooden objects I get second hand stores. I could order some online I guess. A few 'dry run builds' I did before I built my first playable one with a wooden music box, were cardboard and plastic (vhs tape box).Give me some of those boxes dude.he he he

I need intervention, last count was more than 250 boxes. Brought home another 30 or so today. If you need  a box I can help. Also license plates counted 180 of them, not sure where they all came from. Seem to just show up.

Lol

denial is  the first sign  ,   you admited  it  , so  you are  fine  . ;-)

Hey Josh,

USE SOME FOR AMPS - QUICKER & EASIER TO BUILD - IF THE BOX IS BIG ENOUGH YOU CAN MAKE A FEW WITH 2 SPEAKERS - I HAVE ABOUT 28 BOXES AND JUST FINISHED UP 6 AMPS & 2 MORE GUITARS THIS PAST WEEK - TRYING TO GET STUFF READY FOR THE TEXAS SHOW - KEEP ON BUILDING - HOPE TO GET UP TO FAIRVIEW SOON - YOU CAN ALWAYS LET YOUR SON KNOCK A FEW OUT.   

I've been trying to find some nice but cheap amp parts to do this but have had no luck, where do you get yours?

My biggest problem is actually my friends... When I am near a cigar shop (that doesn't charge $5/box) I'll stop in and maybe buy a few epic boxes.  They bring me lots of boxes I won't ever use...

I feel so much better now, I'm not nearly so far round the bend, LOL

Aww man! If I had 10 boxes I would be happy for a while.
Just one would put a smile on my face.
