this is for anybody that likes playing guitar or making things out of wood.
i read this book recently about the history of the guitar in america , and one part goes into detail about the history of cigarbox guitars. the genesis being, lots of poor poeple couldnt afford a real intrument, so these things kind of grew out of necessity .
it’s something that’s pretty easy to make , and they are crazy looking .
this website has a lot of the details you need to make it happen…

there is a cigar store on 3rd , just north of south st.
they sell empty ones for 3 to 5 dollars.
asked and answered.

i no have time for art projects. i have several unfinished sculptures and paintings, a few dating back to 2000. a stack of unfinished books, a basement that needs casing for the doorways and trim for the baseboard. a drum kit with an inch of dust and fiberglass piled on it. an entry way to be tiled, a bathroom to be refinished.
in other words i’m great at coming up with ideas and starting projects, i suck at finishing them. i fail.
