How do you get the frets right on a cigar box guitar? Mine is not intonated very well.?

How do you get the frets right on a cigar box guitar? Mine is not intonated very well.?
I used the 24.5 inch diagram off of cigarboxguitars.com and printed it out then affixed it to the neck that I made but the sound is not in tune. Is there an easier way to put frets on cigar box guitars so I can actually get the frets intonated right so that you can play chords on it…

Measure the distance from the bottom of the nut to the 12th fret.

Add 3/16″

This distance should equal the distance from 12th fret to bridge saddle. If it doesn’t then you’ll have to move the saddle and/or bridge.

A Cigar Box Guitar Builder’s Guide to Stringing and Tuning / Bottleneck Slide Blues / Open Tuning

We often collect seashells along the shoreline, either to simply admire them, or, in lots of cases, we just gather them up, as we like the texture of them. I often save them with the idea that I will most likely do something arty with them at a later date. Projects with shells always seem pretty popular just like canvas art.

In my opinion boxes are fairly a good option, as you can utilize these to collect things in. For example, jewellery, little treasures, letters, needles and pins, in fact, any number of items really. What you intend to use them for is reliant on the size of the box, obviously.

There are all types of wood and paper mache boxes too, readily obtainable in the stores and art suppliers today. Some are designed specially for people to decorate themselves. Obviously what materials you require to do this will depend entirely on the sizing of your chosen article.

However, what you choose to cover your box does not have to stop at seashells. For example, if you are using the ocean theme, why not incorporate some fake starfish, small beads that will reflect, small glass nuggets are lovely, as are miniature pearls and even one or two shiny sequins. This will add a feel of realism!

At this point, if you do not have access to a local shoreline you can as a rule buy various shells in the stores, as a result this should not be too much of a dilemma. You might even use a bit of raffia to look a bit like driftwood. There are sure to be an assortment of boxes you could use for this, ranging from old empty cigar boxes, ready prepared wooden chests for embellishment and even linen boxes.

Hence, now I have given you a few suggestions let’s go on, you can always alter your box consequently! As for your basic needs for this project, you will require a wooden or paper mache box to work this on. Added to this a sponge, which is fairly small, a few acrylic paints, plus a paintbrush, craft glaze, a palette to contain your paints and a suitable adhesive that will stick well.

You may decide to use a different paintbrush to apply the glue and then, yes, there will be any further items to elaborate your box and an assortment of seashells of a suitable size for your task. Hence how do you begin? You might ask!

To begin with, pick up your sponge, dampen it, and after that squeeze out any excess water. Now take your palette and dispense small amounts of paint into the tray. Should you be working on a chest type of box, in the paint tray for colours, I would probably select some gold, a sand colour, purple, different types of blue and maybe a green.

Take hold of the sponge and you should at this point dab on layers of paint to in essence cover the box, both inside and out. When you do this you can actually see how many varying shades you can really produce. Once you have achieved this leave it somewhere to dry.

Next stage, fish out your seashells and have a go working out a design to put on to your box. Carry on by using your paintbrush to apply glue all over the box before moving on to conscientiously press the shells down into the glue firmly.

There is no reason why you cannot cover the entire box with shells. However, you can dot your other trimmings here and there, especially if you are trying to impart the feeling of a real treasure trunk!

Clearly then, this needs to dry out before you can subsequently apply a coating of the craft varnish. This then will give a soft sheen appearance to the box. I am certain that at the finish you will be very happy with the outcome.

Not just this, I am sure that your friends and family will think that this is, in fact, delightful. They will also be hoping that you will make one for them in the not too distant future. However, now you have tried this, you could basically do this to other items, such as wooden picture frames or even around mirrors!

You don’t have to smoke the cigars to obtain the box. Any cigar shop will have plenty of boxes to choose from. Some give them away, others charge a buck or two for them.

cigarettes-the wreckers

Does any1 know the name of the song these lyrics are from?

here’s to the girl with the bright red shoes,
she smokes your cigarettes and drinks your booze.
she hasn’t got a cherry but that’s no sin,
cause she’s still got the box that cherry came in.

Heres to honor
I offered her me honor
She honored my offer
And all night long I was on her and off her
So heres to honor, casue its better to be honor than off her

Up to it, down to it
FUCK those who don’t do it
We do it cause we’re used to it
so Drink Mother Fucker Drink!

Here’s to brother (name), brother (name), brother (name)…
Here’s to brother (name), who’s with us tonight…
He’s happy, he’s jolly, he’s horny, by golly!
Here’s to brother (name), who’s with us tonight…
So… chug, motherfucker — chug, motherfucker — chug, motherfucker… CHUG, CHUG, CHUG, CHUG, CHUG, CHUG, CHUG

here’s to sister [name], sister [name], sister [name], here’s to sister [name], who’s with us tonight, she’s cheezy, she’s sleazy, she’s so FUCKING easy… here’s to sister [name], who’s with us tonight, now CHUG MOTHERFUCKER, CHUG MOTHERFUCKER, CHUG MOTHERFUCKER CHUG! we’re waiting we’re waiting you must be masturbating, here’s to sister [name], who’s with us tonight..

As we’re floating down the river getting drunk (clap, clap)
As we’re floating down the river getting drunk (clap, clap)
As we’re floating down the river with lots of beer and liquor
When we all get off the river WE’LL BE DRUNK!

To our wives and our girlfriends
May they never meet.

I used to know a clever toast,
But now I cannot think it,
So fill your glass to anything,
And damn your souls, I’ll drink it!

Here’s to the hole that never heals,
The more you rub it the better it feels.
All the soap this side of Hell
Can’t wash away that fishy smell……

Here’s the me and here’s to you
cheers to me for the things i do
here’s to hard and long lasting erections
and here’s to (name) and his sexual infections

here’s to God:

when God made little boys he made them out of string,
he had some left over so he left a little thing.
when God made little girls he made them out of lace,he didn’t have enough so he left a little space.
here’s to God.
Heres to being single, seeing double, and sleeping triple!

Here’s to the girls I loved the best.
I f’ed them east and I’ve f’ed them west.
I f’ed them standing and I’ve f’ed them lying.
And if they had wings, I’d f them flying.
So…here’s to the girls gone but not forgotten.
I’d dig them up, and f them rotten.

Here’s to the girl with the bright red shoes,
She smokes your cigarettes and drinks your booze,
She hasn’t got a cherry but that’s no sin,
Cause (she’s still got the box that) cherry came in.

and those are me and my buddies
