Have you ever tried to build guitar or violin using two boxes? I have two small box that together could make a good body for a violin. What do you think about it? Do you have any examples?

seen a few where guys have copped Rany's idea after his one too

huh that one is really brutal!

Here you go 2 Tabak boxes. I first sand each box end that will be glued together flat and flush to each other( as we all know they are not squared at all) then glue and screw them together.

One more. I have built 6 so far this way and all have held up over 4 years so far with out failing. I would like to say you should bracing the original box joints as this was the failing point on my first one.

Thank you! It was exactly the thing I am looking for! You are building beautyfull guitars!
