Thats cool I should be able to get the rest of the material I need tomorrow and have photos of the finished project in a few weeks. Still got two days of school left before my break starts.
I don't know where to find plans, but here's a picture of one of my clocks. I usually get an old battery-powered clock at the thrift store, take it apart, and install the movement in the cigar box. I've used screws to mount some movements and double-sided tape to install others. Enjoy!
if you put some bracing inside and some 1/16 plywood under the lid and run the neck through you can get good sound from those! I would make 3 string fretless out of all of them. if you can't get the 1/16 plywood you can take the skin off of a hollow wood door. When you glue that to the lid it sounds great!
I saw amps when I first saw these. I will make at least one amp out of the three and string instruments with the other two. The black one will be a three string guitar.
I told the local convenience store owner about my projects and he agreed to give me any empty cigar boxes he has when I am in the store, which is almost daily. I liked the colors to much to turn them down despite their small size.

Hey Christopher,
I don't know where to find plans, but here's a picture of one of my clocks. I usually get an old battery-powered clock at the thrift store, take it apart, and install the movement in the cigar box. I've used screws to mount some movements and double-sided tape to install others. Enjoy!
I like all the ideas you guys have thanks you all really got me thinking about what to do with them. Mike where would I find plans for a clock?
They would make nice clocks.

Thanks for all the ideas I will post pictures once the projects are finished
make strum sticks out of em ,, they real short scaled and could do a body thru and they would work great for children ... use the datonic scale

Lots of possibilities, Christopher.
