Great looking humi's Wade. Just awesome work.

I know Palmer Johnson Yachts very well. My mom lived in Sturgeon Bay from 1992 until she passed in 2007. I never could get used to driving over the draw bridge.

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

You do wonderful work...thanks for the pictures!!

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

Hey Wade, really nice work!
I am jealous of your abilities.

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

ok...so I just got my humidor delivered today. I love the labels on the labels on the lid and would like to do this. Mine is a glass top..does anyone have any ideas on the best way for me to do this?

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

been getting by.... i was just up in wisconsin couple weeks ago herfin with Blacky and Rockmeister. we started tapping maple trees for syrup, going to be a herf end of march when we boil the sap down into syrup. whats your schedule look like end of march? we need to herf bro!

so how is life treating you my friend?

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

Nice work on the humidor (VERY creative), nice smokes, poor choice in football! :-)

Go Bears!

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

So you want to put cigar bands on top of your glass top humidor? Hmmmm. The down side is that you'd see all the backs of the bands and adhesive when you open your humidor, unless you put some Spanish Cedar under there as well.

Not that it couldn't be done, but to do this you'd need to have a lip that stands proud of the glass, which you should have. I used Mod Podge or whatever it's called to glue the bands down, you do need to act quick and be accurate as it dries pretty quick and makes the bands very moist and they tear easily. Once all the bands are in place, let the adhesive dry over night. The I used a two part epoxy called Mirror Coat made by System Three. It's pretty simple to use, the only caution I'd have is bubbles of air that will release into the epoxy from where the glass top sits in it's dado. The bubbles do pretty much self pop and be sure you have your humidor on a very level surface. You may use some of the Mod Podge glue to seal the area where the glass goes inside the lid, (does that make sense)?

If you want to tackle it, and have questions, just PM me.

I did these for myself as well for my travel humidors:

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

You tapped trees already! Where you making syrup? Man, I've not seen Blacky in a couple years, let me know and I'll do my best to make it for the big boil!

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

Bears fan living in MI, don't get much worse! :r

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

Those look really cool! I'm not sure I'm ready to cover the tops of my desktops . . . well, maybe one. But I could definitely do that on my travel boxes.

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

yep we tapped the trees already. Rockmeister is harvesting and storing the sap, and the boil down will be end of march. i will let you know when the weekend is finalized. hopefully Edbug will be around as well.


you do some beautiful work Wade!

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

You have mad skills my friend! Be very proud of this. Thank you for posting your humidors! :tu

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

VERY FINE!!!

At first I didn't think I'd like the glass..Further pics showed me that I do like that glass.

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

Make me one it's an easy design that I have. :r :r :r :r :r

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

How did I miss this thread? Great humidor! Nice craftsmanship, and I like the seeded glass.

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

My newest one:

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

The seedy glass really looks different in pics. Seeing it live makes all the difference. Just enough distortion to break up the lines but you can still see what each box is inside.

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

Wade!!!!!!!!! Whats up!!!!!!!!!! I didn"t know u were here on this site!!!!!!!!!!!

If you don't recognise the name... Its me 5-0... ;-)

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

fiv_o...fiv_o_po_po?!

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

THATS ME!!!!!!!!!!! How u doin?????

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

LOL, I knew it was you man, how many rgrecco's can there be anyway! I'm doing good, not really, the layoffs are starting to take a toll. But summer's here, been riding a lot, over 1200 miles so far, not bad being as I've not done a rally yet. What about you, did you make the Spring RNR?

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

Nope... Didn't make the Spring RNR...

Expecting my first kid in July... So I been busy working trying to stash away as much cash as possible... Haven't been riding much either...

Its looking like the ONLY rally I will make this year is MAR III... Hope the turn out is decent... I wanna try to make the FALL RNR but it isn't looking promising because I don't think my wife would be happy being left home alone with a 3 month old...

Only time will tell though...

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

Never been to MAR and I know this year for me it's not even in the plans, I've got TOTT which is in Des Moines this year...that's WEIRD! Then Sturgis in August and the fall RNR. Hopefully I can pull the trigger on all three, if not, I'm gonna have to pass on the RNR, I hate to miss seeing all that family, but I can't miss TOTT for obvious reasons and Sturgis...well, that's just Sturgis. :tu

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

Wow...I absolutely love that first humidor. Well, I love all of them, but that first one is exactly what I'm wanting. I know the "display" layout limits the storage space, but I kind of want it as a display piece :p

Anyway, love the work man! :tu

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! nice work

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

Beautiful stuff, you have some serious skills brother! :tu

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

Thanks folks, it is what I do for a living. I'm a woodworker at Palmer Johnson Yachts in Sturgeon Bay WI. And no...I've not yet got to build a humidor for one of our boats!

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

You must have been cold cause there is NO WAY I would burn that wood. Unless you just have
no space for scrap.

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

LOL, as you topped this thread, I went back first and looked at the pics I posted. When I came to that exact pic, I thought, "hmmm, I wish I didn't burn all that Spanish Cedar." Thing is, my scrap area is usually overflowing and often I cull pieces out to the fire pit. That cedar I wish I'd have saved.

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

Man, those are sweet!

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

I knew it had to be a space issue. A man is going to keep his wood that he
spent good money on unless he can justify burning it.

Re: My Humidor(s)
 

The cabinet is gorgeous..really beautiful. :tu
