I have been a cabinet maker for 30 years although for the last 15 I have been doing custom work and carved signs and have been blessed to not have to go out looking for work as I have had all I could handle by word of mouth.Two months ago my work slowed down quite a bit ,of course for the first month I just figured Hey this is great,The second month I decided I better do something so..
I am building some rather large humidors that look like old fashioned iceboxes.
I think there are two problems with the old iceboxes,.... After all those years sometimes the wood in them is kinda funky and when and if you can find one,they still need a fair amount of work to make them into a quality cedar lined humidor.
The ones that I am making are 14 inches deep by 30 inches wide and 36 inches tall, They are misson style ( my own design) and have three triple sealed doors.They are being made from mahogany with Spanish cedar interiors.I am having so much fun doing these that I wonder why I don't do things on spec more often...Oh ya ...Now I remember..The money.
I will see if I can find a way to post pictures of my progress if anyone is interested.
