Good job to all you that made the deadline and to David, what an item that was. Very neat and unique!
I too like the idea of the metal theme. I will keep my eyes and ears open on this one.

I`ll get in another one if anyone has any suggestions..how about a metal box build off.. that includes cookie tins. Lets say 3/4 of the box has to be somekind of metal.

Wow... I don't know what to say, except Thank You to everyone. Thanks Jef for the idea. Thanks Jef, Randy, Jim, and everyone that has put ideas into my head. Thanks Ted for the Clubhouse and inspiration. I thought all the entries were winners. I've learned more about instrument making & repair here in a year & a half, then I ever thought possible. Congratulations to the Clubhouse for being an outstanding resource for the musical hobbyist. I didn't win this, you guys won it for me. Thank You Clubhouse.
