How did you learn about Cigar Box Nation?: found it by accident

what should I say?

Hi there...
I found this place by accident, looking for a birthday present for a former guitar player of a band... and now, now I'm fascinated! I gave my first work away last week and now... well... now I'm silly about doin my next... so many ideas... I cant' believe it. Actually, I'm not able to play a guitar, nether six, five, four or three strings... not even a didley bow... but I'm silly about building them.
I love it to lurk around the guitar stores in my town, I love the staff-faces when I tell them, what I'm goin to do... Germany is an undiscovered land for the 3-string
