At long last, the Humidor is done (lots of pics)

[Dennis Peacock]

Ho-hum...JUST another perfectly stunning...mind blowing...piece of work.

Bill...you are simply amazing.

Yup....my thoughts exactly Glenn.....Bill just keeps putting them out and we all have to suffer looking at all those beautiful pictures of all that beautiful woodworking Bill does....in his spare time.

They should go to his website and see what he does for a "living" on his regular job. That work is just as stunning. Bill is definitely a talented guy.

Bill- what's left to say that hasn't already been said?

Wow? Nope, that's already been used. Amazing? Several times. Awesome? Just doesn't quite cover it.

Thanks for sharing a project that took longer than most of us in this "microwace" (I want it now!! ) society couldn't or wouldn't hang in to do justice. Truly an heirloom.

Did you get inspiration from David Marks' "Egyptian Dresser"? It reminds me of a scaled down replica! Very cool!!

Actually I was watching a discovery episode on egyptian architecture then I watched the episode on the dresser by david then around 2AM it all came together. He is quit an artist. I'd love for him to see it. PS Sorry it took so long to reply. I was getting ready for the show last week and went to a wedding this past weekend.

Now that this piece has had the humidity in it for a long time, the lid has ever so slightly cupped upward. Barely noticeable but I'd like to correct it. The lid can't be removed because the wood hinges are glued in place. Any ideas? It's only about 1/16th of an inch but it bugs me.

I don't have an answer to your question, but I would like to inquire about your dovetail-making technique. Did you use a WoodRat?

Actually I used an Incra Jig router fence. It would be difficult to do large projects on the Incra but it works great for projects like this. It has strips that tell you where to make the cuts.

Simply amazing, just simply amazing, someday I hope to post something just half as good...
whoa! a work of art....congrats.

WOW. I'm awestruck! Mike

[Bill Wyko]

Thanks Mike. I'm working on a taller one similar to this one. It'll still be a while before it's done though.

As always...can't wait to see it!

Take care my friend.

Could you include a photo of construction?

I bought a bunch of tools from one person and the Incra fence was one of them. I have yet to use it, but now I know its potential.

[Robert Bailey]

wOw, Job well done. I really like the drawer idea.

[Bill Wyko]

Hi Allan. I'm trying to do a photo document of the tall one but it's taken so long that I've missed a few steps. I haven't got to the drawers yet, but when I do them I'll take pics. If you check out my other Humidor posted here, there's a link to the complete build. I've started the story of the build here on SMC and the complete build is on www.festoolownersgroup.com in the gallery. Let me know if I can help with your Incra system.
