    Can I have a birdhouse, please?

    Okay, I think there's enough interest. I have to order the movements, the dial numbers, hands, etc. and a fancy router bit to put the keyhole on the back. It'll probably take about a week to get all this stuff in. I'll post back when I get the parts and I'll try to post up some pics. There's one VSG Box and Aņejo 48, 49, 50 & 60 boxes. I also have a Cuban LGC Tainos box and a Cuban SP Sanchos box which are both paper (if anyone is particularly interested in those) but they might make good looking clocks. Don't send me any cigars until I have the clocks ready to go.

    Sorry George, the cigar box birdhouse I built back some time ago is nailed up in a huge ash tree in by back yard and the local birdies would not take too kindly to me taking it down to send to you so you're just going to have to be satisfied with a clock.

    I'd be happy with any of them, but my preference would be an ISOM box. I plan on hanging it in my game room, and feel it would be a cool conversation piece. Thanks again, I'm looking forward to it.

    Okay, I think the Sancho Panza Sanchos box would be good for that. SP Sanchos are an "A" size cigar so they're 9 1/2" long which means the box is a big size.

    Here's the one Neal sent me years ago:


    The one's you guys are getting will look like this. I'm going to get five sets of Roman numerals like this one and sets of Arabic numerals. If you have a preference, post here and let me know. Or, if you don't want any numerals at all, then you can let me know that too.




    George, eat your heart out:

    George, you forgot to ask about the cigar box lamp:


    This was my first attempt at a cigar box clock:


    My shop skills are much better now.
