Starting out

Some how got well n truly hooked on Cigar box guitars on the weekend...and pyrography added a bit of spice too...spent most of my time collating stuff form google and youtube and have now ordered up various parts...Im in the UK in Shropshire and fiding cigar boxes that ARENT from the US is very difficult...well i didnt get much luck..but I did get a good box from amazon 12" x 8" x 2.5" about 5/16" thick so I hope this works...if anyone in the UK knows of a good place for large-ish cigar boxes...give us a nod I have a Red Dog build DVD in the post so looking forward to that....but...a question...what saw do builders in the UK use to cut the fret slots...and do you tap fit or glue...enquiring minds...etc
