    Devastation!

    I'm not at all sure how or why but a beautiful priority box destroyed my front door mail slot today. It has been some time, (a LONG TIME) since I have been active here. Health issues have been keeping me down for a while now. But some person named "Mahuke" from Gilbert AZ blew me away today and...

    It's been awhile.

    It has been some time since I've been around and I wanted you to know why. Nearly 5 months ago, while climbing the "Rocky stairs" at the Philadelphia Art Museum, I had chest pain for the first time. I walked it off looking at the special Cezanne show. The next morning I took the trash cans out...

    Any vegetable gardeners out there?

    Our new asparagus bed is sprouting! 40, 2 yo crowns planted 10" deep, being re-buried 2" at a time until we get back to grade. We won't get anything this year but look forward to years of fresh asparagus! We also have 50 everbearing strawberries, 7 raspberries, 4 blueberries, 3 apple trees and 3...

    What's your most prized cigar(s) in your humi

    Since my close call last week I have torched a few very special sticks that had been sitting, Opus X Lancero, 02 Sir Winnie, and a Carlos Anniversario among them. Coming up against my mortality reminded me that I really don't want to leave too many great sticks for my heirs! LOL :laugh: Sadly...

    Here are the latch close-ups I promised. Here's the latch in the opened position. Here's the latch in the closed position on the inside of the door frame with the door open showing the aluminum piece that fits into the door edge to hold the door shut. Here's the slot the tang goes into on the...

    Sure glad Sunday wasn't Sunday 50 years ago!

    Sunday the wife and I were climbing the "Rocky" stairs at the Philadelphia Museum of Fine Art. When we got to the top not only didn't I feel well but I had some pain in my chest. We walked the museum, (the special Cezanne exhibition was extraordinary), and the feeling passed. Monday morning I...

    Blazer Torch Group Buy - $36/ea

    Mine has arrived as well. Thank you Rod, it is a very fine instrument. It's is amazing how one imagines other torches are "good enough" until a really superior one is found. Thanks again for hooking us up with some really superior ones! I, for one, am grateful.

    The pleasure was all mine Earl. I am glad that it has lived up to my expectations regarding stable humidity with the beads. It should be very stable. It was great to meet another BOTL and have the chance to do this work for you. I trust it will be a blessing for many years to come. Dave

    Just finished this Humidor for a fellow BOTL here.

    Absolutely gorgeous! Very lovely work indeed!

    Dimensions: 24H x 18W x 14D I'll take closeups of the latch mechanism and post them soon. It is my own design. I wanted to have an essentially concealed latch so as not to clutter the front. I would use static humidification. The unit is VERY well sealed and once conditioned, should hold...

    Thanks! Careful measuring, cutting and fitting really matters in the quality of the final product, as you well know. I enjoy making things fit correctly and am happy that someone such as yourself notices the details that make or break a project for me. Happily, this one turned out reasonably...

    You are right! He picks it up this Friday. I trust he will enjoy it for years to come.

    Because I do this for a living I can take the time. This one took about 30 hours of construction time spread over 2 1/2 weeks. That does not count the hours it took to salvage the boards in first place, which I did myself. It does, however, include the hours necessary to dig every piece of...
