THE PROJECT - 1ST VIEW

This is the first look into my new project, which is done under the brand of Hammer Head Humidors. This will be a large tabletop humidor made of acrylic and cedar, combining cool design with great performance.

Parts for two prototypes have been already ordered and now it is a matter of me putting things together and refining the design...

I thought i might as well share some pictures of the plans, as i am waiting for some parts to arrive. As soon as i start the assembly and manufacturing process, i will share some "live" images of the product.


Meanwhile, you'll just have to settle with these...

The Project - 3rd Time's a Charm!

Finally, the humidor is starting to make sense on paper. Hopefully, all my ideas will translate to real life without any bigger problems... Take a look at this beauty!

I'm really interested to see how this turns out. I think you have something good going. :tu

[eriksson20]

The costs for the prototypes i am building are huge, due to the freights allocated to only two humidors. If i should go large scale though, the costs should be humane per box, and maybe others will get to enjoy my handywork too... if it chooses to work in the first place ;)

cheers,

From one Erickson to another Eriksson it looks good :tu

And as a temporary solution and for testing, the Humidity Beads in tubes for humidifying (until the rectangular humidifiers arrive):

The Hammer Head - First pics of the Acrylic Body

Here are a couple of pictures from the factory, just finished:

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qcrg5uyN9GM/SgFG5cB6tJI/AAAAAAAABN4/4iWtLpuqW3s/s400/DSC00464.JPG

I decided to place the HHH logo to the side, so that the view through the lid is not blocked. I think later on, it will be a sticker rather than low-res silk screening. Just testing...

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qcrg5uyN9GM/SgFG9_g_o2I/AAAAAAAABOA/tLDdbdhX1kM/s400/DSC00466.JPG

Come back for more later on...
