Besides making lamps out of cigar boxes, what do y'all do with them. I have 30 boxes that I don't know what to do with.

I've got a few (lots) sitting empty in a stack in my basement. I toss out many dress boxes but am hard pressed to eliminate the SLBs. What to do with them I don't know. Maybe kindling?

I used an empty box as an invitation to an event I pitched for school

sorry I cant find the pictures if I do I will post them

I used a Bolivar Churchill tubos box, for a cash box when I was vending BBQ.

I have a project, using SLB panels, to line a cabinet I am building. Got a way to go yet.

Will post pictures if I ever finish.

Chuck them out; it's just a box, it's what's inside that counts......

Great Stuff, My nieces and nephew were doing a class project at school, building various structures out of the boxes.. I founds it ironic the teachers were asking for cigar boxes in the most antismoking environment known to man..

Found a good use for my SLB's today.... Pretty decent cigar box guitar amp.... I may build a few of these for the fun of it and recommend it highly...

YES! That's awesome! Sign me up.

If you're interested, PM me, I've got parts to build two more and I'll def make one for you, it's actually a pretty sweet little desktop amp...

Definitely! Details please :)

Likewise, PM me and we can figure out details...

With those speakers/amps, what stops the wood from vibrating and rattling?

The speaker is a small 4 inch speaker and the amp kicks out 1/2 or 1 watt total, it's meant as a small desktop amp not a stadium monster, so rattling isn't an issue... Also, hot glue gun helps to keep things in place, heheheh...

I use a couple to hold my lighters and cutters etc. The rest I give to my nieces and nephews for their trinkets etc while I get stinkeye from their mom when there sitting there getting a good whiff of the box interior.
