What does it do?
>>708905594
you've never seen a fingerbox before?
i dont either
man thats a great fingerbox i should get another one mine is all messed up already >>708905542
>>708905801
I just got this one off ebay, I think I overpaid for it.
>>708905542
how much that cost like $300
>>708905975
Man, I paid $320 including the shipping
I've been meaning to build one for years.
>>708906167
You remember how much fun these were growing up, I can't tell you how much time I wasted playing with my fingerbox as a kid, I'm trying to collect the entire '89 release set, before the company declared bankrupcy
>>708905542
Figure boxes are lame, anon. Esp if they aren't made with aluminum.
>>708905542
What's inside?
>>708906470
obviously you were born after Ayo was bought out by Alum, but I understand where you're coming from, some people can't tolerate splinters
>>708906387
Not that guy, but I remember playing with my set of fingerboxes when I was a kid. All my friends and I went to the park after school each day just to finger each other's boxes. I have one around here somewhere still.. I had a house fire and I lost a lot of them :/
>>708905542
I got my grandfathers old fingerbox from when he was a child. I'm surprised it lasted this long, especially because it survived being shipped during WWII. Even with all of its years, the shit's still higher quality than modern ones.
>>708905542
Fingerboxes are fake and this thread is almost always made by newfags that just learned about this "hoax". Fuck off.
penisbox: superior
although i guess a fingerbox is okay if you have a tiny dick.
LOL wat are fingerbox?
>>708906654
fake.. funny how there's a wikipedia entry for them. you'd think someone would have removed it. for being fake.
> inb4 YOU CAN'T TRUST WIKIPEDIA
>>708905542
That's not yours, you fucking liar. Post a timestamp, bag of dicks eater.
>>708906605
oh man, I saw ebay had a sale for fingerboxes after I bought my, I feel like a real putz getting this one. You should go swipe one while their only $250
>>708905883
That doesn't belong to you, douchebag. Post a timestamp, motherfucker.

Are you fucking stupid? Fingerboxes are real. What would you call that in the ops pic then?
Hey... What are these for anyway.. They're not for what I think they are for are they.? O.O
>>708906654
I'm pretty sure at this point these finger box threads are no longer trolling the "what's a finger box?" Crowd. They're trolling the "this thread again" folk.
Just walk away and let these morons play pretend.
>>708906785
right? people who don't have a proper fingerbox are always jealous. I feel sorry for him honestly.
>>708906826
huurr duurr whats a finger box???
>>708906744
Really? Thanks for letting me know man that's really cheap!
whats a penis box ?
>>708906834
they're trolling the pseuds who think they're oldfags because they've seen a fingerbox thread before and they are certain they're fake.
> but i've been here since March ima old fag
>>708906787

I actually did not know this
>>708906944
do you have a garbage disposal built into your sink? you know the ones, with the grinding teeth and such?
same thing.
>>708906834
Why wouldn't we make another thread that show our love for fingerboxes? People make traps threads on here every half hour, and we barely post that much
>>708906995
you've been here since March, amirite?
>>708906966

@708905542
You people make me sick. So what if I've only been here a month? So what if I don't know what an finger box is
Nothing better than a finger bang. Box. Finger box.

Making people sick since they got here
Welcome newfag
>>708907313
Ah man, someone on ebay was selling it. He said he inherited his uncles toy warehouse and there was a crate of fingerboxes stashed behind some moldy old teddy ruxpins.
>>708907513
Treat her well anon. Many a good time was had with that box
>>708907639
I freed up the afternoon just to enjoy my new fingerbox. She is a beauty.
Goddam you guys are losers.
The only people that make these threads cool are when people actually timestamp a real fingerbox that they own, or when the shit gets really crazy and over the top.
But the same old stupid shit with grandfathers, teak, brass, wars, fires, inheritance, etc is so fucking stale.
>>708908150
Biggest loser at the tea party. Good to have you here anon.
Come on guys! Don;t let this die! Fingerboxes are the bomb!
I got mine from my great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandfather (it came down through all the generations) and it was made out of a wooly mammoth skull Cavemen had big fucking fingers, i guess!!
Alright I'm just going to ask what everyone's been thinking.. Are u supposed to put ur le weenie in the box or wat
xd dik in a box rofflemayo
>>708908889

Looking to make myself a custom fingerbox. What kind of wood would you guys recommend? Looking at some high grade flamed maple right now because it's effay as fuck, but oak is classic and cozy. Thoughts?
pic related is my '91 McKinney MorseBox Original I had commissioned. What do you think, /b/?

>>708909717
So you've had it commissioned, you giant twit?
FUCK YOU AND YOUR FINGERBOX MEME.

Has anyone tried out the newer XK fingerboxes? Composites sound really nice but I just cannot bring myself to part with classic wood.
thoughts on 4 chambered 'boxes?
>>708910364
I thought about getting the digital version made in the late 90's but it was limited release. I think because they kept exploding on the users while fingering.
Is this a meme or a real thing? What pleasure or sensation does one feel when the finger is inside the box? I mean it can't be much right?
>>708908889
You call your penis as finger?
>>708909896
Probably not. I really wanna switch things up with this one. Might even considering using brass hinges to get that vintage look.
Also, what kind of lining would you suggest? I've got a few yards of green felt left but I'm looking for a different feel. Velvet?
>>708910899
Maybe :p
>>708910948
Velvet is definitely the way to go, I've seen too many green felt lined fingerboxes, but don't get me wrong, if that's what you have, it's a classic build.
>>708910630
shame, a buddy of mine had one and it was a real gem when it worked right. she had to let it go after it blew a fuse but luckily nothing worse than that happened.
though i'm glad xk was able to bounce back after all the lawsuits, their newer composites are looking mighty fine despite the lack of a screen.

all the info you need, anon. happy reading!
fun fact: the design of those old-timey phones where you had to spin a wheel to dial were largely influenced by the fingerboxes of the time.

This is true, they just mentioned thin on American Pickers recently on the history channel.

Another autist who feels the need to point out the obvious
Does anyone have a '78 AYo PGA Tour Commemorative 'box in good condition lying around that they're willing to trade/sell? I've been eyeing one for the longest time, my collection just feels incomplete without one.
>>708912088
That's a rare one homie, I've only seen them in magazines.
>>708905542
I think what you don't need in live.
It's a shame they're so hard to get these days.
>>708911117
Thanks a bunch, anon. Might as well get a few yards for future builds. Any thoughts on suede lining?
>>708912088
This has to be fucking fake.
If it isn't fake than what are the internal mechanisms? Are they literally just boxes with holes in them?

this
>>708905883
Shit, that one looks nice

OH MY GOD, YES!!! THE LEARNING CURVE IS FUCKING MASSIVE!!!
>>708912876
it's a little worn, but someone else loved it a lot, you can tell. I'm definitely going to make sure it's placed in prominence on my shelf of fingerboxes.
>>708911496
Hey wait a second wasn't Cromwell known for a UFO hoax? This coiled very well be bullshit
These finger box threads bring so much joy to people who need a little nostalgic boost.
help /b/! managed to get myself a vintage yagani fingerbox but the chamber is too small. do you think i can manage to drill/dremel around the chamber myself or have it sent to a boxsmith?
if you have contact info on reliable boxsmiths that would be a huge help, too.
>>708906673
Fuck you faggot, theres ni such thing as a penis box
Been coming on bee for years
Not knowing how to greentext or triforce or wat a fingerbox is
>>708905542
pretty solid fingerbox, u got it used?
>>708909957
One of my favorite AYo releases of all time for sure. Definitely worthy of bearing George Maciunas' name.
Anyone else have experience with the Black Holes?
>>708914102
You are the greatest troll I have ever seen.
anyone remember the old baum multiboxes? it's a shame they never really caught on, baum made some of the best cases imo
>>708915086
It was an experimental run, I almost bought one for the novelty of it.
>>708915086
That's a doghouse you retarded faggot
>>708915196
That couldn't be further from the truth.
>>708912178
Damn. The ones I see on forums are never in good condition, and I think's almost never worth it to refurbish imo, especially on a 'box as rare as this one.
>>708915760
>>708915822
autist
>>708915822
>>708916217
Well, it wasn't an experimental run. They were made from 2009-2013, and at least 600 were made.
So, you are a douche trying to sound like you know about fingerboxes and Baum, but you don't know shit.
what's /b/'s opinion on rod troyer's work? my birthday is coming up and i was thinking of getting myself a troyer custom fingerbox to celebrate

They're in a fucking safety deposit box, asshole. And it's Saturday at 4:00. The bank is closed.
I do, however, want to get them out of there. I can't stand thinking they might get lost or stolen or something.
If anything, if someone were trying to steal them from me, or if I had a fire here, I would gladly die fighting for them, for they are life.
i'm a noob at this how's my fingerbox
>>708918614
I wouldn't have been able to tell you're a noob, very impressive.
>>708918614
Did you make it yourself? If so, that looks amazing for a first build.
Of course, the big question is how it functions.

>>708918772
i've been into woodworking for a while now but i wanted to try my hand at making my own box so i got an ayo from my brother that had a casing which was beyond repair. stuck the internals from that into a log cabin model i'd been meaning to make forever.
only thing left to do is find a suitable material to line it with. any suggestions?
I had a wooden fingerbox that was passed down generations in my family but recently I got this beauty shipped straight from japan.
>>708919526
nice, specs?

Boxsmiths must only be sourced by word of mouth. Never let anyone near your finger box unless personally recommended.
I made this mistake once and won't a second time.

thanks anon, still looking to swap it out for better internals. it's a work in progress
>>708906744
Nah bro, I build them with fresh materials bought at my local mill and I got a great 3-holed design from my uncle that I want to test.
I'll post in few days with results. Gotta work on that resin tho.
