Hi, I've seen several boxes with small sound holes that look like open brass rivets. I don't know if I'm describing them right, but they are similar to the larger dobro screened holes, but smaller and without the screens. Does anyone know what these are and where they can be found?

You definitely don't need the screens, but they can add a distinctive decorative touch. I currently have 15mm (outside lip diameter) screened brass grommets, and I have larger ones on the way, including a 1" outside diameter and then a 1" inside diameter. I also have standard grommets in various sizes available, from 1/4" on up through 2" inside diameter.

ok, I'm new on this forum..and I'm building one. Now about these grommets..I've considered tarp grommets, but these don't have the screens in them. How important are the screens? How many of these grommets/holes do I need on a 9.5 x 8 inch cigar box?

I have been adding more varieties of larger curtain grommets in my shop. Have several sizes in brass, copper and nickel, and just ordered a 1.5" nickel variety today. I also have smaller standard grommets. http://www.cbgitty.com/cubecart/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=26
Thanks Dave, all help welcome, and good idea. Next time you are at Lowes, look at the 1+ inch crumb cups in plumbing too.

I started using sliding cabinet door pulls, They take a little grinding to remove the back( to make it a hole ) pack of 4 little ones or two big ones for about 2 bucks at Lowes. They come in nickel or black. A little window screen inside the hole looks nice too.
