I have a buddy who does precious metal exchange, and each month he trashes about 20 beautiful wooden chests. Many of them have feet, and are dove tailed boxes--beautifully made.

Obviously too heavy for a guitar, but does anyone have an idea of have to recycle some 240 wooden cases a year?

Thanx!

love the idea, great box!. and of course there must be pictures or it didnt happen..lol

That's right. LOL

The Top and sides are a good quality wood, the bottom is some type of fiberboard. Since the top with a frame portion of the box is 1" in total thickness, I'll be able to run a neck all the way through and be able to open the box without issue. The top board is 1/8" thick, so it will be a great sound board.

There are many scratches and it appears to have paper veneer, so it'll most likely get painted.

Sure do , brush handled bases , I can get custom made hardware ( kneck hinges etc) made , tuner on the end , pickup and your all the way , I can design one pretty easily , post a pic ,
Or what about amps ? , plenty room to fit a speaker ,,some e bay electronics , easy amp ?

they could make interesting jewelry boxes

Wow-you guys are really artistic.

I am going to pick up a bunch of boxes this week. If you are in the area (Dan Sleep, JL) you can have as many as u want, but my buddy would REALLY like to get a build in trade. Can either of you help with a trade?

All not local peeps might want to check out your local pawn shops and gold/silver exchanges for the same. I'd be happy to send these boxes to anyone for free, but shipping would be painfully expensive.

PS: JL--Can I private msg u? I can't figure it out. PM me if u can.

I am pretty slow right now due to the cancer thing, but I might be able to make one for trade.

Bless your heart, Dan.

Your wife is gonna cut off your wifi if she sees this.

I don't know if you saw it, but I sent you a friend request.
