I think the footlocker-style humidor is a terrific idea.

jjmitchem · 12-29-2010, 02:38 AM

I agree on the Footlocker Humi - We could use a good military commemorative humidor!!

Zeuceone · 12-29-2010, 03:45 AM

Incredible work.

WaxingMoon · 01-02-2011, 02:18 PM

Pretty good couple of days in the shop.... wish I could have had more time, but.... still enjoyed every minute of it....

I'll start out with Matador's.... I know he's been waiting. I have the lid put together and she's lined... still have to do the hinge work and stuff... and build out the trays... and Sand, Sand Sand.... I can't wait to oil up that quilted maple.... as it will really pop!

Next up is a sweet Figured Cherry & Walnut.... glass top. She's a humidor as well. Just gotta do the interior trays and clean her up and she'll be out the door...

Zebrawood & Walnut..... I have the glass - ready to install.... she's lined and almost ready... I'll get the glass put in tomorrow...

Teak & Walnut.... waiting on some hardware...

Goncalo Alves & Ebony.... Just getting started on this one...

I have one more on the bench that I'm waiting for glue to dry... and then I'm going to bevel the lid... I'll post that in about 1/2 hour.... you'll like it..

WaxingMoon · 01-02-2011, 03:38 PM

Nice way to finish the day.... gotta love ebony on ebony...

Zeuceone · 01-02-2011, 03:40 PM

that ebony on ebony is sweet.

01-02-2011, 07:12 PM

I love ebony and the ebony on ebony is great. can't wait to see it finished.

WaxingMoon · 01-07-2011, 05:45 AM

It's been pretty busy down in the shop... there is a lot more to show than what I am showing here.... I should have a few humidors coming off the bench over the weekend.... and I will make sure I have time to take some good pictures....

Here's a couple pictures that I took last night... I just ran out of time to get pictures of some of the other stuff.....

Zebrawood & Walnut.... just about ready. Need to oil her up and polish... clean her up and she'll be out the door....

I lined the Ebony.... just need to do some tray work and sand...sand...sand.. oil & polish...

And then there's the vino trays....` or, I guess I should say Edgestar...

More later....

What would the cost be for a full edgestar setup like that?

That set up was $136.64 plus shipping.....

Other options would be hardwood fronts, etc..... that would add too it...

I've posted on my website pricing for traywork.... taking the straight forward, easy approach...

I would gladly be your lab rat. Are you taking requests? I am somewhat at a loss on how or where to get some for the cooler?

WaxingMoon · 01-07-2011, 12:06 PM

Yes - I'm taking requests.... I've partnered up with a fellow here in Charleston and he will be, for the most part, the drawer/tray guy....
His name is Jay and has 20+ years interior trim carpentry in the area and is bringing a lot of good things to my shop... knowledge & tools....

We do not have all the specs on the various units - but hope to get a library to refer to..... so, it will take a little bit of back & forth to get ironed out what you need - but, we're going to try to tackle this monster....

Anybody purchasing a new unit.... feel free to drop ship it to my shop and we'll "square it away" for you....and then send it on your way...

I am still going to focus on the humidors.... Jay, will be "the spanish cedar guy"...

76GTFan · 01-07-2011, 12:17 PM

Please let me know what you need from me. Do I need to get Jay measurements, or will he go to the Vinotemp website?

Do I need to contact him directly and if so how? Let me know what you need and I will get it to you guys.

01-07-2011, 01:07 PM

I can't believe I just found this thread! Ed, fantastic work!!

...wishing I lived nearby so that I could impose myself as an intern in your shop...

Eleven · 01-07-2011, 06:23 PM

I dig that minimalist look to the edgestar trays as they are.

Now I need an edgestar
