Todd,
I had an idea for your high quility work. Maybe you could offer custom pre-strested X braced tops for folks that have a favorite box they would like to build.
My thought on this is a lot of high quility guitars have plywood back and sides with a good solid wood top option. Guitars made like this do sound very good.
I heard a fellow on youtube build a uke this way and it's sound was alot loader and far better than an instrument just built from a cigar box, his oppion as well. The best of both worlds it appears.
I have the highest regard for your work and this idea could be a great item to sell.
Cheers
Bob:)
That's a great idea. I had thought of doing that with one of my own builds but, had ultimately decided if I were going to go through all the work of cutting away the old ply bottom and making a new soundboard, I might as well just make a new box too. But, that could be a great cost effective measure while still using the old boxes. I'll do that to a few of my own boxes, and then offer them up for sale. I could actually even cut the bracing and glue them to precut tops for others to glue down to a boxes themselves.... Given that they have a tablesaw.... Great idea Bob. Thanks

Hi Todd :)
I think, if you make a box and put a cigar into it,..... it´s a cigarbox.
all the best
