"Don't know what you guys are talking about...I can quit anytime I want to."

I'm still in denial...  Easier to stay in this state, but I could quit anytime if I wanted to...  probably

It makes it hard for me to throw anything away...I keep thinking I can use part of whatever is supposed to go in the trash to make CGB''s.  example...a popcorn popper that stirs popcorn, it got dropped and broke the casing...but I see it and think "i could use the motor to wind pickups...better save it and salvage motor".

it is addicting, I grant you that

I had it licked for almost 10 years. I had given away all but my 2 best. Then, right before Thanksgiving, I decided to build one. I had been saving a nice box since my last build in '07. Anyway, I built that one and 6 other ones since late November.

Next you'll be building them secretly, thinking that no one knows you're doing it...........

True! There's just so much woodworking I can do in my house before I make a huge mess. Fortunately I live alone so if it gets too bad(long cold winter), the mess WILL happen.

Gonna get some 1 x 1 red oak or maple or something and I can at least build canjos without a lot of mess.

Build build build :D I feel your pain! I just discovered them a few weeks ago and everything looks like hmm that would be a cool design, ooh look at that tin! I just got 10 cigar boxes (baby cigar box guitars) in the mail today, One is for a neck currently being made then I have a request to make 3 more for people. I can't stop watching videos on them and playing mine every chance i get! I just downloaded the cigar box  blues album from here to enjoy while at work too. I've messed with regular 6 string guitars a little bit, swapping necks and upgrading electronics but that's not nearly as satisfying as building cigar box ones! I intend to build a bass, and try out some other instruments like a cookie tin banjo, maybe a cigar box violin, always been interested in learning violin ;) I guess it's a healthy addiction! You know what's even worse for me, one day a week I work a transfer station as an attendant. Do realize all the useful stuff people just throw out?! We have alot of free time there as well, guess what I'll be doing hahahahahaha!

A transfer station? Oh what a veritable plethora of parts! That would be too tempting. I would spend all my time dumpster diving!

Build on!
