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

[Bruce Pennell]

Bill great job, thanks for your earlier reply. Love the finished project. The Domino hardware is great! Thanks for the new idea. You should post your pictures on Festools site. I'm always amazed when I learn a new way to use a tool....these web sites sure teach new applications for me and my tools. Thanks again for all the pic's and info. Bruce

Wow. That's enough to start me back on stogies. Beautiful work.

[Gary Herrmann]

Now that is a humidor. Well worth the wait.

[Bill Wyko]

Thanks everyone. I guess I should explain why Eric is so deserving. Every weekend Belinda (My SIL) for about 10 years, has made fantastic meals for the 4 of us (I got the sister that doesn't like to cook) and Eric has always supplied the Cigars and booze to enjoy around the fire. He never asked for payment or acted as though I owed him. We have had fantastic conversations every time and never run out of things to talk about. It's great to have a friend that is so different than you and yet can have so much in common to talk about. Woodworking is our commonality, we talk about building stuff for hours. We talk plenty about you guys' work all the time too. You are all very talented and are a great inspiration. As far as Belinda goes, she wasn't left out, if some of you rember, she got a segmented turning I did about a year ago. When it comes down to it, one or two great friends are all you need to be happy. To Eric, Merry Christmish.
Thanks again everyone you're a great bunch. BTW check out the staved turning I did yesterday in the turners section if you like.

Holy double corona!!!

Super nice work and choice of woods, Bill!

[Mark Hulette]

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!!

[Dylan Smith]

That's absolutely gorgeous. Nice work!

[David Tiell]

Wow!!!!! Beautiful!!!!

[Lori Kleinberg]

Nope, just a hobby If I call it a job that'll make 3 jobs for me. I own a car stereo business and a dune buggy business too. As you can see, I still have too much time on my hands. (I'm being sarcastic) I guess you could put jewelry in it but it'll smell like cigars and be around 70% humidity. I'll be happy to make a jewelry box for the right price though.

You know Bill, I was wondering why those things were parked in front of your store. Luckily, my boys don't get down that way to often.

[Chris Padilla]

That belongs in FWW. Well done, well done!

[Ron Bontz]

Only one thing to say. WOW!

[Jon Lanier]

Dude that is gorgeous.

[Hans Braul]

Fabulous work! I love the quilted maple - stupidly beautiful! Eric, I envy you. I have often said though, that I'm glad I can't afford cigars - I'd be dead if I could. Absolutely fantastic work.

Alright. The obvious beauty of this humidor has been commented on lots. But I must say, I can't stand looking at pictures of these types of projects! As a beginner, I get insanely jealous! It makes me wonder if I'll ever be able to complete projects of such quality and beauty! And where the heck do I even begin to acquire the vast amount of knowledge it requires to do this type of work?! Very nice job! It is truly a work of art.
