    Default Just wanted to introduce myself.

    Hello, I'v been browesing this forum for a couple weeks- looks like a place with some intesting people and decent information. A little information about myself: I'm from texas, and am a trades man - do anything from mechanics to industrial applications, sort of a jack of all trades. I offen smoke atleast one cigar a day and have built both of my humidors, a small desktop that holds around 30 and a large chest that holds around 50 boxes. I also enjoy a variaty of cigars from mild to heavy bodied.

    As a side note, I do a little graphics design work and the image in my signature will probably change on the weekly basis - some of the other forums that I activly post in I am somewhat known for my unusual signatures.

    Welcome to the Forum!

    By the way, please post pictures of your humidors when you get a chance. I collect humidors as well as cigars and am always interested in some home grown craftsmanship.

    Welcome to the board, nice graphics work! Didn't know tradesmen played with illustrator and photoshop Now, if you tell me you do architecture and read literature and speak 5 languages I will declare you THEE renaissance man of this board! Honestly, that's awesome bro, keep up the good work!

    And I'd love to see a pic of your chest , but you don't have to take a picture with all the goodies showing, I'd just like to see a chest that holds that many boxes. And also, did you build the chest yourself?

    I live in a small town south of Texarkana (if you know where thats at).

    Its funny you mention the architecture thing, I'm accually debating going back to school to get a degree in architecture. But I only speak english - and I dont even do that good.

    Yes, I did build the chest, it matches the desktop one - both done with kinda a art deco feel to them, I was bored by the tradional boxes that humidors usually are. I'll try to get pictures of both up within the next few weeks, I still just use a real (film) camera so I have to get stuff developed then scan it and such.


    I also appologize if I put this in the wrong spot, Probably would have been more suitable in another subforum but I didnt notice it till after I had done started it.

    I hope someday I can get someone to train me on woodworking. I would love to build chests, cabinets and humidors for a side job.

    I have the highest respect for cabnet makers, people that do it for a living have tremendus skill. Wood working in general isnt hard though, just cut twice and measure once (or some gibberish like that). Most of the stuff I do isnt your average square box type stuff.. so percision isnt of the highest importance to me as much as the over all finished product.

    It may be just me but I'm not quite sure I understand your "I want to give up before I die" signature. What is that about?

    Just the state of mind I was in when I did it. For all who wanted to see my humidors I should have some pictures up today of the desktop, had a few extra pictures left on some film I needed to get developed for court so I took a few of it.
