Last Thursday I told a a friend of mine that I found some cool cigars I’d like both of us to try.

We were with other friends who said they never had a cigar but would also love to try it once.

So I thought ordering a 10x box would make more sense.

I said this needs to wait for a bit then since I need to save a bit more money for it.

I haven’t really thought anything with that sentence but out of nowhere everyone gave me some money.

At the end, I only paid 20€ out of my own pocket for this beautiful box of Oscar Valladares
2012 by Oscar cigars.

Made in homage of the myth that the world would end in 2012.

I can’t wait to try them with my friends.

It’s also the first ever box I bought, up until now it was always just single cigars.

Cheers and goodbye :)

A #cigarbox #harpsichord ? Why not.
First thought, since I have zero space for a wood shop, how much of the gubbins are 3d printable? Anyone attempt this yet?

Only have a boring acoustic guitar but you want to shred like it's 1690? Grab the clip on Theorbo. Turn any acoustic guitar into a bass booming Theorbo like hybrid. Tune to a traditional tuning or make up your own. Such a great idea. But will it blend???

Is this what #kingmissle meant by Detachable Theorbo???

I'm on the fence on this as I am already building a #cigarbox theorbo . Or archlute....depends on how long the neck gets.

Bonsoir le fediverse. Je cherche des boites à cigares, en bois, pour les transformer en cigar box guitar. Si jamais quelqu'un près de Tours souhaite s'en séparer, merci de penser à moi.

Just finished this instrument up that I started last week. Very happy with how it came together, especially considering how little margin of error I had to get everything in the right place. Setting the neck on these things is a mix of geometry, experience, and a bit of magic.

This thing is LOUD and has a great Dobro-like tone. Looking forward to having a beer and playing around on it at the end of the day.

More progress on the cigar box guitar. Worked on the body while another coat of oil dried on the neck, then glued it all up.

I found a 6" aluminum resonator cone and designed the instrument around that. Built a custom cover for it from some 1/8" ply and a metal mounting plate for a wall lamp. Everything was a tight fit, but a combination of measuring multiple times, guessing, and sheer luck seems to have paid off. Next step - strings!

Shiny! I just finished up this neck for a cigar box guitar. The necks for most of my instruments are very basic, but this one is going to be fancier, with an aluminum resonator cone, so I built a hand carved multi-piece neck with an angled headstock.

It has 3 kinds of maple and is made up of 6 separate pieces. Gluing everything up yesterday was an adventure. Now I wait for the Tung oil to dry so I can attach it to the body. Hopefully it all lines up.
