Nice Humidor

[dHUTCH]

Of course I wouldnt line the bottom with that red cedar, that was put there for the blankets to protect them from bugs n such.

And Manix that would be something I would have to sit down and talk with my father with because its something we both build together and they're extremely hard to build with just one person around and not to mention time consuming. I know to build one just like that it runs about $40 for a nice peice of plywood and then I'd have to guess another $40 for the trim and edge peices that we have to rip; so it would come down to how much we want to charge for our time and labor. But of course.....if you wanted us to use more expensive solid wood sidings it would be more expensive but that is entirely up to you. I'll get back to yal on the cost/time. I know it would take 3-4 weeks to build due school/both of us having jobs.


**Edit** Sorry Manix I live in Brenham, TX. That's located inbetween Austin and Houston.

Ok, so I started work on the bottom molding this evening and the lid will be finished and attached tomorrow. I also got ahold of my uncle in Austin so he could give a specialized lumber yard(lots of exotic woods) there a call and see if they have any 3/8in thick spanish cedar. If all goes well I should have the box with lid built tomorrow that way I can begin work on getting her air tight. Ill keep yal posted with pictures and progress.

A buddy of mine just bought a similar looking blanket chest made out of solid oak and it ran him $400 and that was a steal.

Yeah, I gotta say you did a real nice job on that chest.

Welp today I got the lower half of the box built and the lid cut out. I need the lid trip peices and then it will be ready to be put on the chest. Since it was getting late instead of finishing the lid, I started sealing the wood inside the box so it wont absorb moisture.....I have some pics for yal below, and I'll keep yal updated on the progress.

OH by the way, I went with a lil different design than the one above as to tone down the beauty of it......the things in my room arent exactly as nice as the first box above. So I got rid of the fancy legs and just use a regual oak piece with a routed edge.
