WOW that thing is thick. But the lid is thin and it does sound good. Good job.

That's what I'm talking about. I am geting kinda tired of searching for cigar boxes, today I am leaning more towards the idea of a build yourself box. They seem to hold up a lot better and really easy to make. I think I am ready to start taking my 3 string building to the next level and start boxes from scratch like that. Awesome vid by the way, and sounds great too.
