a cigar box is a box container for cigar packaging .

traditionally cigar boxes have been made of wood , cardboard or paper .

spanish cedar has been described as the " best " kind of wood for cigar boxes because of its beautiful grain , fine texture , and pleasant odor .

eucalyptus and yellow poplar have been popular substitutes that were sometimes stained and scented to resemble it .

other typical woods for cigar boxes include mahogany , elm , and white oak ; less-popular are basswood , circassian walnut , and rosewood .

there are several types of cigar boxes , differing both in construction and purpose .

the following are common boxes : cabinet selection , slid-lid or hinged lid , typically storing 25 or 50 cigars 8-9-8 , round-sided box with three layers , counting 8 , 9 and 8 cigars respectively .

flat top or 13-topper , two layers with 12 on bottom and 13 on top boxes of box-pressed cigars , stored two layers with same number of cigars .

cigar boxes , labels , and bands are considered a subject of art , with businesses specializing in them and books printed on their design , meaning , and significance .

as a result , cigar boxes and their corresponding labels can be considered collectible items .

there is a growing movement of guitars and ukuleles being made from cigar boxes and other materials not usually used for musical instruments .

what is a cigar box guitar ? simply put , it’s a stringed instrument that uses an empty cigar box as it’s resonator . they are not necessarily of the same design as a normal 6 - string acoustic guitar . for example , some cigar box guitars have only 1 or 2 strings . many do not have frets up the neck , but are played fretless or with a slide .

so you have the basic neck shape taken care of . leave it alone for now and start on the cigar box . first , remove any adhesive labels or tape . my box did not have a paper wrapping - if yours does your approach will differ from mine throughout this instructable . pry off the hinges and set the lid aside for now . the inside of the box has to be braced . on the side of the box that meets the neck i glued a block of walnut 1 . 5 inches deep into the box . it needs to be high enough to support the lid and reach to both sides of the box . a thinner piece - 0 . 25 inches - can be used to brace the back , since it won ' t vibrate as much and does not need to support the neck . for each side i cut two strips of walnut and glued them at the top and bottom of each side . for an excellent example of body and lid supports , check out tashiandmo ' s beautiful slidehow of a cigar box guitar build here . steve miller ' s guide also has some great pictures for this step . let the glue dry overnight .

no ! smoke shops with humidors ( for cigars ) have them . generally they sell them depending on the quality of the cigar ( and box demand ) . $ 3 - $ 8 is common . if your a youngster , and you explain the cause , you could get more than you than you can carry ! i do plumbing work for the owner of a local smoke shop . i mentioned my mother could use a couple for craft projects , and got around 20 . but , only 6 of witch were wood .
good question ! i had no idea where to find a box , so i literally stopped at every smoke shop i saw until i found a box . it took a while . some people find them at yard sales or ebay . not all smoke shops carry cigars , and as you might imagine they don ' t run out of cigars very quickly , so the shop has to be a bit older . owners are very helpful and generally nice . as far as the rest - this was also my first ukulele , so i can ' t speak from very much experience . i would suggest being very careful with the nut / bridge step . the action and the location of the frets will have the biggest effect on your sound . good luck !
before you finish the nut , bridge , and saddle and attach them to the instrument , sand the neck and body to your heart ' s content . for the neck i used 150 and 200 grit sandpaper . how you do this will vary by preference , but i chose to apply 150 , wipe the instrument with a damp cloth , when dry apply 150 again , apply 200 , wipe instrument with damp cloth , then let it dry and do a final touch with 200 . wetting the instrument raises the grain , which allows for a smoother finish when you apply tung oil . i really wanted to preserve the lettering on the box , so i limited the sanding to just enough to remove the finish . for this step i only used 200 grit and did not wet the box .
unless you have a block of hardwood ready , you are going to have to prepare one . as you can see in the full body plans posted in step 3 , the neck deepens as it reaches the body until it matches the cigar box . mine was 2
deep . i needed 3 planks of walnut glued together to reach the right depth . the neck will join the body in a mortise and tenon joint - that is , it extends about an inch into the box where you can ' t see it . be sure to account for that extra length before you cut your boards down to size ! first , plane the boards . they must be perfectly flat or they will not glue evenly . plane the boards on the concave side until flat ( watch your fingers ! ) . mark the flat side of the board . then turn the boards 90 degrees and plane a thin edge - again , be careful with those fingers - until it is flat . mark the planed edge . it is important that you have flat edges to measure from when cutting boards down to size on the tablesaw . cut the boards to the length you want and start gluing . i used titebond ultimate wood glue . cover the side of the plank with glue , making sure to glue all edges . clamp the boards together , trying to keep the boards even . wipe off excess glue as it oozes out of the boards with a damp wash cloth . don ' t worry too much if they are a bit uneven or have bits of dry glue on them later - we will take care of all that later . leave the glue to dry overnight .
that ' s right , this is the end . it is time to install the tuners and strings . installing the tuners will vary for each instrument . i took the tuners from a thrift shop guitar , so i had to cut down the metal sheet that houses the tuning pegs with the metal cutter on a dremel . if you follow this example be sure to wear protection and watch out for fire hazards , this throws a lot of sparks . for step by step instructions on how to restring your instrument , search online for tutorials . be aware that for a couple of days the strings will not stay in tune very well . an extra tip : if you buy d ' addario pro arte ukulele strings , you may find that the sleeves inside the package are labeled classical guitar strings . every package at my music store was like this . they are the same strings , but you need to have them gaged to find the right notes for each string . congratulations ! you are now short one cigar box and plus one ukulele . go wow your friends with your shiny new instrument . or , in my case , go learn how to play the ukulele !
it ' s time to measure out once again where the bridge and sound hole will be . it is a good idea to double check , as the length of your neck may have changed when it was attached to the body . see step 3 for measurements . the recommended sound hole diameter for a concert uke is 2 1 / 16
. i had a 2
large diameter bit and made do ( these bits cost around 12 - 15 $ ) . mark the center of the box lengthwise and where the center of the sound hole will be . where you put it is up to you - there are even designs where several small sound holes are cut instead of one large one . cut with a drill press ( or a drill if you are an intrepid soul ) . the inside of the lid must also be braced , as it will endure a lot of pressure from the vibrating strings . a light but strong wood is good for this , as it will allow the lid to vibrate but will prevent any damage . i used pine because i had some lying around . i followed steve miller ' s x - brace design , cutting out two thin lengths of pine and fitting them to the box in an x , narrowing them at the center so they overlapped . a bridge support can also be applied beneath where the bridge will be . this is optional , but it seemed like a good idea . i ended up gluing the bridge to the box , but it is possible to screw it in , in which case a good bridge support is crucial . i cut the bridge support so it fit snugly inside the x brace . glue the supports .
your ukulele body and neck can now be shaped in any way you want . i rounded out the base of my neck so it would fit comfortably in my hand . i took a lot of time with the overall shaping and found this to be one of the most enjoyable parts of building the uke . if you are interested , i used a power sander with 150 for the initial and 200 grit for the final shaping . my box did not have a paper covering , and i planned to apply a finish to the entire instrument . so i very carefully sanded off the original finish , trying to keep the lettering intact .
for a finish i used a mixture of 1 / 2 tung oil 100 % pure and 1 / 2 mineral spirits . mixing them together in a mason jar , i applied it to the instrument , rubbing it in with my hands . then i wiped it off with a rag and waited for it to dry . after it was dry i rubbed the instrument with a piece of 0000 steel wool , just enough to roughen the surface . then i wiped away the little woolly bits and repeated the process . tung oil , rag , dry , steel wool , tung oil , rag . i applied seven coats because the saint teaching me uses seven as a rule . check to make sure that instrument is not becoming sticky as you apply tung oil . plywood does not absorb the finish very well , and can become sticky if too many coats are applied . i did not have a problem with this although the bottom of my box was made of plywood .
this step can be done several ways . i chose to follow steve miller ' s mortise and tenon method ( see his tutorial for pictures ) . a mortise and tenon joint is kind of like a puzzle piece . a piece of the body with the walnut brace is hollowed out and a matching piece of the neck is carved so the two fit together like a puzzle . a jig can be bought or made for a drill press to make this process painless , but i accomplished it with a dremel , some wood carving tools , and someone who knew how to fix mistakes . for those who do not have a drill press and need to do this by hand , i strongly suggest cutting out the basic shape of the tenon ( the neck part ) with a band saw so it will sit flush against the box . always be aware of your neck measurements and make sure that you do not cut off so much that your neck becomes too short . for added strength we drilled a hole through the walnut support and the tenon joint and inserted a dowel so it ran through the mortise and tenon and joined them together . because my joint was loose , we also inlaid pine to make the joint tight . because this step is optional ( and hopefully unnecessary ) i will not go into more detail here . information about inlaying wood can be found online . glue the neck to the head .
a quick review for the music illiterate like myself : the nut is the piece that will guide the strings from the neck to the head . it is usually made of plastic or ebony and consists of a strip of plastic with slits for the strings . the bridge is placed on the box and holds saddle and strings . the saddle is a piece of plastic that fits into the saddle and guides the strings over the bridge . i thought about making a mold and melting plastic from plastic bags for the saddle and nut , but chose instead to destroy a few dominoes . warning : cutting and sanding the dominoes will dull whatever you use to cut and sand them with . there is also a nasty burning plastic smell . wear protection and work in a well ventilated area . i used a combination of a band saw , dremel , and power sander to shape my nut and saddle . pull out a guitar or look around at ukulele ' s to get an idea of what you need . an important idea here is action - that is , the height of the strings above the frets . it is hard to get a good idea of the action while everything is still loose and not put together , so leave cutting the grooves till later . the bridge is a piece of wood approximately 2 . 5
long , 0 . 5
deep , and 0 . 75
long . a groove in the bridge holds the saddle , so the saddle sits partly in the bridge and partly above it . to make the bridge cut a block of wood to the desired dimensions . the strings will be housed in the bottom of the bridge in ' half holes . ' to drill the half holes clamp the bridge to a similarly sized piece of wood and drill holes at the intersection . it is a good idea to test fit this idea with some ukulele strings . the holes must be large enough to fit the string but small enough to prevent it from coming loose . when i actually put the strings on at the very end , i found it easiest just to tie a knot and string it through the bridge , so you can see the knotted ends of the strings when you look at the ukulele . you may want to modify this design if that is not what you want . a variety of bridge designs are possible , so look around if you are interested . i want to emphasize that for this part it is really very helpful to have a model to work from . any acoustic guitar or stringed instrument will give you a general idea . you can also choose to buy these parts if you are interested .
about : action pig loves truth , justice , and his new jig saw .
i am an obsessive planner , so i took the time to draw out scale models of my ukulele - to - be . then i re - drew the models in photoshop . the plans were incredibly helpful for cutting the shape of the neck , fretboard , and fret positions . the frets : the positions of the frets depends on the scale length of the ukulele . the plans posted here ( uke2 , see below ) are for a concert size . for fret position measurements , search
fret calculator
in google or go here . for a concert size i used a 15
scale length with 17 frets . the one crucial measurement is that the 12th fret must be half way between the scale length of your uke . the scale length is the vibrating length of the string and it is measured from the nut , which guides your strings to the tuners , and the bridge , which is located on the body . the 12th fret usually is located just where the neck joins the body , but really you can put it wherever you want . the neck - the neck length will depend on where the neck joins the body . see step 2 for neck measurements ( see width of fingerboard ) . the head - the head shape is usually a trademark of an instrument maker . search online for ideas . i chose a very simple square shape with rounded edges . the head should
dip
3 - 5 degrees downward to add tension to the strings ( see uke2total , below ) . the body - as mentioned earlier , the location of the bridge is set in stone . however , how far the fretboard extends onto the body and where the soundhole is located is up to you . just be careful that the soundhole is not so close to the bridge that your hand will be crowded when playing .
for this step i used a band saw , but chisels and woodcarving tools would also work . first i removed the dried glue with a hand planer and cut off the uneven edges with a table saw . then i printed out my photoshop plans and taped them onto the neck . three cuts were required - two for the top view , and one for the side views . i cut the top view first , then taped the block back together and taped the side view plans onto the neck and cut again . i left an inch at the end where the neck meets the body for the mortise and tenon joint that will come later . note about cutting on a band saw : when cutting a hardwood on a band saw , some pressure has to be applied to move the wood through the blade . i was not prepared for the moment when the wood slipped past the blade and the pressure was suddenly gone . when cutting slow down as you reach the end of a cut so the change in pressure does not whip your hand toward the blade . also , when cutting tight curves ' relief cuts ' can make it a little easier . just cut straight lines perpendicular to the curve , just barely reaching where the curve will be . then as you cut the curve the wood will be cut away and will make turning the block easier . at this point it is also a good idea to plan where your tuners will be and drill the required holes . the size will , of course , depend on your tuners . it is best to drill the holes before the neck is attached to the head as it is much easier to deal with a neck block than a combined neck and body . i used a drill press for this step .
now that you have the basic neck and body put together , it is time to start thinking about a fretboard . the fretboard should sit on top of the neck and body and be about 1 / 8
thick . the thinnest i could find to buy was 1 / 4
. anyone who has cut thin boards on a table saw knows that it is hard and scary . the thinner the wood , the more likely it is to bind and shoot it back toward you , not to mention that your hands are closer to the blade . if you use a table saw for this step , be careful and have someone to help you get the board through if it begins to bind . once the fret board piece was thin enough i measured out the fret positions and marked them on the board . because the fret positions are usually calculated in decimal , i used photoshop to make a template and copied it onto the board rather than measuring them out . we once again used a table saw to cut the fret positions , lowering the blade until it just barely scored the wood where the fret would be . this meant that our frets were at least as wide as the blade , about 1 / 8
thick , which meant that the fret wire had to be at least that thick . the best option i found was brass welding wire . the next step is to cut out the fret board shape . i used a band saw and a photoshop template ( see step 3 ) . the fret board will fit snugly to your neck , but once it is attached to the body a variety of designs are possible . look online for ideas . if you are interested in using wire for your frets , check out steve miller ' s excellent instructions ( see intro ) . i chose to inlay turquoise , which helped take care of my fret width issue . for this step i mixed crushed turquoise and five minute epoxy , applied it into the groove a little higher than the fret board , and removed as much excess glue and turquoise as i could . for more detail about inlay techniques check out supersoftdrink ' s excellent instructable here . note : if you use wire for your frets , the way you sand and finish your fret board may also differ from these instructions . after the glue was dry i sanded the fret board until the excess glue was gone . if you are working with oak , you may notice that grooves appear in the oak as you sand . this is something inherent in the wood and not anything you can really do about .
if you look at a guitar or ukulele you will see pearl dots in the frets at certain points . in ukulele ' s these markers are usually at the 5th , 7th , and 10th frets . really you can put them anywhere you want . i also chose to mark them on the side , because i thought it would look cool and i enjoyed this process . first choose a marker . i chose a wooden dowel for availability , and because the inlaid turquoise was flashy enough by itself . the dowel was 3 / 16
in diameter . very , very , very carefully i marked and measured exactly where the markers would be and drilled holes with a drill press . i strongly recommend a drill press for this step , as a lot of work has already gone into the instrument and a drill press minimizes the possibility of catastrophic failure . i drilled the holes only about a quarter to a half inch deep . once the holes were drilled i cut the wooden dowel down to size for each hole , so there was enough poking out that i could pull it out with my fingers . once all the holes had matching dowels i applied epoxy to the dowels , inserted them into the holes , and wiped the extra glue away with a damp cloth . after the glue dried i sanded the dowels down very gently with a dremel as close to the surface of the fret and neck as i could . a final sanding will be applied later , so it does not have to be perfect yet .
this is where the instrument really begins to become an instrument . remember that the distance between the nut and bridge is measured between the inner edges of the nut and bridge . that will be the vibrating length of your string . the 12th fret should be exactly in the middle . i finished shaping the nut , saddle , and bridge with a dremel and power sander . then i glued the saddle into the bridge with epoxy . i cut the slits for the strings with the thin cutter of a dremel , although a thin file would probably have been better . the action on my instrument is a little low - be careful when cutting the slits that the strings will not be so close to the frets that they buzz . i was afraid there was not enough support to physically clamp the bridge onto the body , so i used epoxy . same with the nut . the uke is now nearly finished !
so i ' m confused . . . up in step 2 you have a little table with the scale length of the concert being 14 . 75
and go on to say that the scale length is set in stone . in step 3 you say you made a concert with a scale length of 15
. i must be missing something .
in the same step you say that the position of the bridge is set in stone also . . . i assume that ' s because of the scale length from the nut . what i ' m unclear about is exactly where on the bridge you measure to . the saddle ? that would seem to be the case since that point of contact with the saddle is what determines the actual vibrating length of the string .
just what i was looking for . very well done and good looking ! !
urltoken there you go folks , online , affordable , and not a bad selection . i ' d still recommend looking around though , the hunt is part of the fun .
i ' m having some trouble making the tuning pegs , as i dont want to go out and buy some . any suggestions ?
i got about 50 zither pins for around $ 15 . 00 , and if you cut a wooden dowel into slices , drill a hole in it for the pin and epoxy the pin in , it makes a pretty good tuner for use in a hardwood pin block or head
the tuning pegs would be a tough make . especially because they need to be a tight fit in order to keep the strings tight and in tune . it could be done , though . you just need something capable of holding a string ( most have a hole through the middle that the string is wound through and around ) that you can tighten . since i ' ve never made my own , i can ' t give much more advice than to suggest that you go out to a few music or pawn shops and look at some instruments . it sure sounds interesting . let me know how it works out !

i , too , don ' t like the way qt adds voodoo magic to c + + . it uses so many macros that it awfully reminds me of c . at the moment , there is nothing to indicate that qt would be kinder to c + + features in the future . i would really like to see it be more like c + + and not a language of its own ( e . g . why do we need std : : vector < > and qvector < > ? or qt signals , boost . signals and sigc + + ? )
unlike boost . signals , qt ' s implementation of signals / slots is thread - safe via the use of queued connections . on may 2nd , 2009 , however , boost . signals2 was released and brought with it the much - desired thread - safety . from the developer point of view , qt ' s implementation of signals / slots is much easier to use , mostly due to the fact that it does not use templates . for an in depth read of why qt uses moc instead of templates for signals and slots , here ' s a page from their documentation .
the qt company or an independent auditor acting on behalf of the qt company’s , may , upon at least five ( 5 ) business days’ prior written notice and at its expense , audit licensee with respect to the use of the redistributables , but not more frequently than once during each 6 - month period . such audit may be conducted by mail , electronic means or through an in - person visit to licensee’s place of business . any such in - person audit shall be conducted during regular business hours at licensee’s facilities and shall not unreasonably interfere with licensee’s business activities . the qt company or the independent auditor acting on behalf of the qt company shall be entitled to inspect licensee’s records . all such licensee’s records and use thereof shall be subject to an obligation of confidentiality under this agreement .

@ parker stl and boost are ones of the biggest selling points of c + + nowadays . shouldn ' t qt design their api to be compatible with them and not invent yet another one ?

from what i ' ve seen of the qt source code , the code is highly efficient . take a look at the features in the install configuration - you can turn on / off support for various features ( including stl , threading and even the gui ) . further , when the trolls made qt 4 ground - up , they did not trade off features against code - jazz - they just delivered more of both . given the quality of their programmers and their way of updating major versions , i don ' t think we need to worry about qt ( or parts ) getting outdated .

i don ' t see qt using stl any time soon . now that nokia owns trolltech the drive is towards nokia mobile platforms and symbian isn ' t exactly friendly with the c + + standard .
i would like to point out that none of the signal methods you mention are currently part of c + + or its standard library . they ' re all 3rd party libraries . as for qvector , it ' s a vector container with a qt style api . qt ' s api is one of its biggest selling points , so providing container classes with a familiar api only makes sense for them .
licensee may purchase development licenses and distribution licenses pursuant to agreed pricing terms or , if no specific pricing terms have been agreed upon , at the qt company’s standard pricing terms applicable at the time of purchase .
