Oh My Freakin Deity!

I see an antique shop and I wonder "what do they have that I could use to make a git outta?"

Flea markets, lawn sales, same thing.

I may have to quit my job just to have time to make all the gits I see in my head.

People tell me I should sell them. How is that going to help?  And what's worse is everyone on this site supports my addiction. AAAGGHHH! Curse you Ben "C.B." Gitty!

Question: is this type of addiction covered under my insurance?

At least when I sell them, there's room for more and it helps recover the cost. No, it won't cure the addiction, it just fuels it. The whole nation is basically a support group, but there's no cure.

Create a new room in your house to hang your treasures! Tell your wife/husband/other person its part of a rehab program. Build the room in the shape of a guitar, that could help. I am in the middle of #32. Wife says I need to sell a few to pay for the addiction.( I may sell one of the kids instead)

Building these is therapy in its own right and helps put the outside world in perspective.

Good luck

Sooo, are you saying that you can't stop, or you just don't want to stop? Do you see a different box and wonder what it would sound like? No problem, don't fret about it (actually I prefer fretless builds anyway). This is a normal process and nothing to be ashamed of. We can all quit anytime we want, but why would we want to? Maybe you should try a hubcap build, or a canjo, or a diddley bow. I'll get back to you on this, but right now I have three builds in the works out in the garage and i have this closet full of really neat boxes calling. I really need to get more picture hooks so I can hang more in the hall...

Sure I can stop making them anytime I want. Then I would just go back to making my punched lanterns

Have you considered making a canjo out of one of those?

I hadn't until you mentioned it. That might be a really cool idea. I've made many lanterns out of coffee cans also, which would be perfect for a canjo.

Now you've got me thinking Duck!
