OK, So I'm building myself a humidor

[Quint]

Thanks Quint. But you should see my jam room Although the last several times we've had jams at our house it was warm enough to just hang out outside by the pool. Not any more though.

Sure go ahead make me jealous. My jam room is in shambels right now.....

i wish i had my jam room. No room in my dorm to jam, plus i get so much noise complaints from everyone one in my hall and people in halls below and above me.

Well, I don't have a photo of the big room where we jam. But here's my music room/office. Remember, since I teach music everything you see is a write off.





On the wall at the moment is an Ibanez MC300 Musician electric guitar with a Roland guitar synth pickup, A Breedlove dreadnaught, a Breedlove mandolin, a Deering Goodtimes banjo, and a dulcimer that I built.

On the bookshelves I have all my guitar, mandolin, banjo, and dulcimer music cataloged along with all my Acoustic guitar, Flatpicking guitar, and Fingerstyle Guitar magazines. Just barely visible are some of my sci-fi books, a full shelf of Poker books, TWO shelves of chess books, and my reading chair.

I pretty much live in this room.

That's freakin' awesome! Make sure you post pictures of some updates.

Dru,

Will you tell me where you got the plans for the humidor you are building? Are they commercially available or is the humi your own design?

Wow Dru Lee, that is an awesome shop. I checked out your dulcimer page. Sweet. You got it going on man!

I figure it's just a box. So I'm just going to build a box with dovetail joints using my Incra jig. I've done jewelry boxes before so it shouldn't be too complex.

I've seem some free humidor plans online (I just used Google to search) and none of them seemed too difficult. I think the biggest problem will be to get the lid to close tightly over the cedar lining.

Getting boxes to latch tight can kinda be a pain in the butt. I usually start 1/16th smaller than the inside diameter should be and start chiseling/sanding it down from there little by little till it just fits, and then give it the final sanding.
