I have a buddy who does precious metal exchange, and each month he trashes about 20 beautiful wooden chests. Many of them have feet, and are dove tailed boxes--beautifully made.

Obviously too heavy for a guitar, but does anyone have an idea of have to recycle some 240 wooden cases a year?

Thanx!

love the idea, great box!. and of course there must be pictures or it didnt happen..lol

That's right. LOL

The Top and sides are a good quality wood, the bottom is some type of fiberboard. Since the top with a frame portion of the box is 1" in total thickness, I'll be able to run a neck all the way through and be able to open the box without issue. The top board is 1/8" thick, so it will be a great sound board.

There are many scratches and it appears to have paper veneer, so it'll most likely get painted.

Sure do , brush handled bases , I can get custom made hardware ( kneck hinges etc) made , tuner on the end , pickup and your all the way , I can design one pretty easily , post a pic ,
Or what about amps ? , plenty room to fit a speaker ,,some e bay electronics , easy amp ?

they could make interesting jewelry boxes

Wow-you guys are really artistic.

I am going to pick up a bunch of boxes this week. If you are in the area (Dan Sleep, JL) you can have as many as u want, but my buddy would REALLY like to get a build in trade. Can either of you help with a trade?

All not local peeps might want to check out your local pawn shops and gold/silver exchanges for the same. I'd be happy to send these boxes to anyone for free, but shipping would be painfully expensive.

PS: JL--Can I private msg u? I can't figure it out. PM me if u can.

I am pretty slow right now due to the cancer thing, but I might be able to make one for trade.

Bless your heart, Dan.

Your wife is gonna cut off your wifi if she sees this.

LOL

Hey, aren't you supposed to be sick, or something? Or does working on this take away some of the stress? PM me.

done

I don't know if you saw it, but I sent you a friend request.
