toolbox humidor

Next up is the sides

How are you going to fix the seal issue?

 

[rbbrock]

From the photo it looks like there's a pretty good flange around the front and sides of the opening. I imagine the OP has already got a plan or he wouldn't be starting yet, but if it were me I would try running a bead of silicone around it to seal when the lid overlaps the flange. I'm not sure about the hinge, but then again I don't know how much humidity would really escape through there either, it could be tight enough.

To the OP: This is a cool idea! Are you planning to put in any dividers or separations of any kind?

 

[Asel.mike]

im still lining the rest of the box with spanish cedar. The cedar around the joints will be beveled to fit snugly together

 

[Petthefish]

cool idea it would be great to see how it all comes together rp

 

[JHolmes763]

You need a fairly airtight seal in order to hold humidity. Is this box going to provide that?

 

[_Deon_]

Great idea, how many sticks do you estimate it will hold? What are you going to use to hold the cedar to the sides?

 

[Light this!]

Do you think the metal will have a huge affect on the temp - too cold or too hot?

 

[Asel.mike]

The sides were dado-ed to interlock with the top.

Better view of the dado and bevel.

The top is dado-ed in reverse of the bottom and the fit is very snug.

That spanish cedar saw dust kicked my butt!!! I had to pull out the dust mask and gloves for this stuff.

With that skill why not just try a cabinet humidor

Looks good, that would be a good way to hide sticks away from the wife.

 

[rbbrock]

That looks great! Very nice work.

Yeah, it is actually toxic. I did not realize this until I had built several humidors. You should definitely wear a dust mask.

Great job on the corners and the overlapping top and bottom. Nicely done! I hope my seals are as nice when I finish mine.

 

[souldog]

Oh GREAT, now another order I'll have to make with you!!

 

[Asel.mike]

hahahahahah sorry souldog. One thing at a time. Your ash tray should be there tomorrow unless the USPS lady is a dirty liar.
I'm glad you like it.

My seals SEEM tight. After I get some humidification in this guy we will really see. If its not up to par, I'll put in a foam weather seal and call it done.

I'm waiting for the JOBOX project!

That's a cool idea to keep the cigar fascination alive and kickin'. Never thought of a tool box.

 

[CBoukal]

I love this, you guys have mad skills and some cool idea's that's for sure

 

[2K6TBSS]

That looks great! After seeing your skills, I can't wait to see what you do with the ashtray I have on order...

ETA - Are you going to be building any trays for the tool box?

 

[CBoukal]

WOW!! that would be a ton of Cigars
