Welcome to Cigar Box Nation (CBN) and my discussion group, "Home Made Resonator Boxes 101". There are tons of ideas here on CBN about building different kinds of mostly stringed instruments. If you don't have much wood working experience, start off with something simple like a canjo or a diddly bow. With each subsequent build, try adding new features, and practice building with new techniques. After a few builds, I'm sure you'll be ready for a cigar box guitar. They really aren't that hard to build, especially if you stick to a fairly basic design. Well, good luck, and have fun building and playing 'em.
