    Default Nice trunk

    Great looking trunk man, I am very jealous. It looked like Chris used a foam separator to attach the cedar; did you use the same approach? I would guess the foam barrier would assist in ensuring the walls were plum as the foam would provide some give. How hard was it to get a good seal? Would love any specifics you are willing to provide.

    I just glued everything to the insides. Used Gorilla glue to do it. Half way thru I ran out and used Elmers Ultimate Glue. I would use this in the future b/c it doesn't expand as much as the Gorilla glue. You could also use Titebond III wood glue. Had to use some staples because the box was warpped a bit. Make sure you buy a good trunk this would of made things easier. I made the seal on the lid like a regular humidor. The wood on the lid slips into the top of the trunk. just a little sandding to make it tight. If you are going to make one, make sure you got lots of clamps to hold the pieces while the glue sets up.

    Is this to scale? This has got to be some sort of editing trick, that's like two feet long!
