i am in near brands hatch half the week and south east london (lewisham) for the rest. cheers for the heads up about the other group. i have joined that one too.
well the hard part about building a Cigar box Guitar in the UK is getting a Cigar Box most folk get them from ebay - charity shops carboot sales , jumble sales ect - but it don't have to be a cigar box anything will do even the Ronseal Container you have - a few ideas are jewlery box , wine box , biscuit tin , cuttelry box , wooden tool box , ammo box ect ect

i'll warn you now though once you make one thats just the start of it lol :)
enjoy
