At 6:35am on July 13, 2010, Pedro Mankini said…: Thanks man. I cant get enough of it at the moment.... its kind of consuming me right now.

At 6:27am on July 13, 2010, Pedro Mankini said…: I have found a couple at secondhand stores around the city and actually went to a place in Lodon Court in the Perth CBD called Devlins. They sell cigars and cigar boxes but they start at $20 for an empty box which is a bit rich and against the whole idea I reckon. They had a bout 30 to choose from and also have a store in Subi I think if you ever run out. Cheers.

At 12:23am on July 12, 2010, Pedro Mankini said…: You have some pretty neat pics there mate. How long have you been doing them and where do you find your boxes?

At 1:47am on July 9, 2010, bairfoot cajun said…: thanks peter that is a top compliment for me sir----i,m on vacation and have been for a few weeks--i go back to work on monday oh well i can still build stuff after work in the evenings yep.thanks again.

At 8:53am on May 30, 2010, werner said…: Thanks your comment but sorry no plans and also no step by step pictures. Actually it's a very easy and fast project. You just use the housing of the light. You stick a 5W speaker in it , drill the hole(where the wire normally comes out)a little bigger, cover it with any kind of plate(ofcourse with a hole or holes), make a small wooden stick(a normal broomstick is just the size of a mikeholder) that fits the mike and thats it.
Success ! in case you have plans to make one. grtz. Werner

Thanks for your comments on my video!

At 10:20am on April 7, 2010, Dianne Woods said…: Peter, you are very welcome. I am working on my 2nd build and thinking about the 3rd and 4th builds to come. I am still learning while making mistakes. But I love building them. I haven't learned how to play except one tune----Shortin Bread. Thank you for your kind comments on mine, thank you for the encouragment. Happy building.
