Who was that masked humidor builder?

[stewa070]

A good while back I was cruising around the boards and saw where a guy builds his own humidors. Very, very nice humidors. He posted a ton of pics of em on his post if I recall.

I'm trying to find that guy so I can ask him about his plans. My brother is going to build me one for xmas but wants a little guidance. I loved that guy's stuff and wanted to copy it.

I remember 2 of them were cabinet display style and 2 were made with custom cigar band pattern lids that he did himself with his wife.

Ring a bell anybody?

I'll post this in the humidor section too but more people read here.

Couldn't find mention of it in my search.

Thanks,

Clark

Outstanding!!! I read that post and looked at the work. I realize thats its just a box to start with but were you using any particular plans to base them off of? Them things are beautiful!!!

Not really any plans, I've built a LOT of boxes, so this was just a bigger one with tighter tolerances and a few more layers of wood. Really pretty straight forward, but still a lot of work.

What do you know about dovetails? I am having trouble setting mine to correct depths to get tight fits. I am using a craftsman router but the bit is china made so I think that might be a problem. I am on my way to get the "recommended" bit, lets see what happens. I might have to go to the rockler set up with dovetail jig to get what I am after but.......................anything will help.

I use the Leigh dovetail jig, a little more expensive, but it produces great results. Never skimp on a router bit.

Hardly ever in bed before 2:30...up at 8. I hate to waste time in the day, there's always something more to do.

I could build a whole walk in humidor before I would ever be able to make one of those nice little humidors. I saw the thread where these pics were posted and I was also very impressed. It is some fine craftmanship for sure!

Those are some nice looking humi's. I've never used BLO, how does it bring out the figure in the wood compared to danish oil?

Not sure, never used Danish Oil! But the Boiled Linseed is a marvelous product, I use it often to warm wood color without changing it. But it does make good grain come alive.
