interesting cigar boxes

[tx_tuff]

I have seen a lot of cigar box clocks and they are cool. I want to see a big a$$ wall clock, 2 to 3 foot arms with cigar boxes at the number potions! Now that would be cool!

Always thought the CAO Vision box was pretty neat. Had the blue leds inside and I believe on the CAO on the outside. Might make a cool piece for a darker room.

but its plastic, not a very well made box...I've thought about that one...

I have the Journey to Chateau Fuente Brown and Black box I was thinking about making clocks out of and putting one in the shop. I'll try to snap a picture later.

cool idea, tough to transport...you'd basically have to measure the wall, and then have a really high torque movement, and then figure out what boxes went where...the high torque movements get expensive. good luck.

What about a BOTL small batch box?! Granted you smoked them all already...

just saw the box, would be gorgeous, but you'd probably have to remove the insert...

Have all ready done that. Was going to have a buddy make a cigar box guitar out of one until he told me his pricing to do it.
