Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
well, I figured it was time to get on the train before Ed gets too famous for his own good.
I thought HARD about getting the LSU edition, Purpleheart with a gold-er yellow wood for the gold in Purple and Gold, but I thought maybe you don't tell an artist how to create his art. I told Ed to make me a work of art, then on the phone basically told him how to do it, lol. I suck. I do have to say though, that I think this is the time to strike on a Ed-idor. The pictures keep getting better and better, and pretty soon he won't be able to answer the phone anymore. I want to get mine done before he gets overwhelmed, if that's possible. And it always is. I have asked for a few things that have less to do with Ed's art, and that is to have honduran mahogany as my preservative lining as opposed to Spanish Cedar. I just like it better. I also could not stand it if there was no lacewood on there. That stuff is just un-describable. And like I said, other than that, I said 'surprise me', lol. I had asked to have him just make his art, and then he mentioned a wood I didn't like as much, and it all fell comically down, my grand plan, haha. I say get em while you can, babys. |

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
This post is a little off topic, but not really....
My good friend, Jerry Hewett, the fellow who does all of my laser engraving.... well, his wife passed away on Thursday and he asked me to make a cremation urn for two for her and him.. hopefully he won't be joining her soon.... This needed to be done and in his hands before this coming Thursday so it can be present for the memorial service.... Plus, Jerry plans on laser engraving a photograph image of his wife and himself on the lid..... I burned a bit of midnight oil in order to get this done for my friend... but, I'm pleased at how it turned out.... It is made from some very old Cherry.... I'm told that it is about 100 years old, Cocobolo & Movungui on the lid.... Lined with Mahogony..... http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...20Urns/Urn.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...ns/UrnOpen.jpg And here's a picture of the bottom..... http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n.../UrnBottom.jpg |
Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
It's beautiful. I'm sure he will cherish it for the rest of his life.

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
Stunning... this is exactly why I chose to have you build me a custom humidor Ed. I spent some time perusing your website and saw the flag boxes you built for 9/11 victims and you clearly possess not just immense artistic abilities but also a huge heart. What an honor for your friend to choose you to build he and his wife's final resting place and what a great friend you are to take up that task and do it brilliantly.

Just seen a picture Ed sent to my wife of the Humidor he has built me.

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
Nice looking shop Ed. Keep it up great looking ideas as always.
|
Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
Looks Great!
|
Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
Ed - Awesome shop...Question on the planer - I just picked up the same (well, close - the 735 model), do you still have the straight knife head in there...or something else ? Just curious with all the figured woods you do...
|
Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
I am just gonna pretend I am not waiting. Works with cigars.

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
Awesome shop!

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
Just oiled up these four today.... and I have a bunch of stuff going on in the flanks... bits and pieces of humidorage lying about on various shelves.....
Quilted Maple seems to be the flavor of the day.... Lacewood & Quilted Maple... http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...1/DSC01078.jpg Morado (Bolivian Rosewood & Quilted Maple) http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...1/DSC01080.jpg Qulted Maple & Walnut.... this thing is HUGE! (With Drawer) http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...1/DSC01085.jpg And... I guess if we're going off the flavor of the day... Macassar & Gabon Ebony is the way to go.... (Paper is protecting the glass top).... http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...1/DSC01082.jpg These are all trayed out and just about ready for the lacquer.... You'll be seeing these again shortly... there's some interesting tray work going on inside of 'em... that big one has 11 trays in her.... |
Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
Very nice!

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
Awesome Work, Ed!:tu

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
That Bolivian Rosewood & Quilted Maple humidor is beautiful, what a great wood and a great contrast with the quilted maple.

Qulted Maple & Walnut.... this thing is HUGE! (With Drawer)

I can't wait to get her ready for my sticks. I should also have a new box of Case Fuentes to go in to her. :dr |
Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
Made some headway on this prototype today... She should be coming off the bench pretty soon.... Everything is "dry fit" at the moment.... will get it all assembled in the near future...
Here's a pic of the "intent".... http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n.../VMB/VMBII.png Here's how she looks "pieced together".... still have to mill down the lid, but, the board sitting on top is the one I plan to use.... http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...B/DSC01004.jpg Here's a pic of one of the sides, lined.... I still need to make the drawers and place the drawer runners... The left side of the panel will allow for the humidification flow.... The right side of the panel is the sealed off compartment for Cutters, Lighters & maybe even a flask of scotch.... http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...B/DSC01092.jpg This is the "front".... I will be putting a couple of shelves in here. This part is sealed off from the rest of the interior. http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...B/DSC01091.jpg And here is the "back" middle portion with an Avallo Accumonitor..... I will install the sensor on one of the sides and "short change" one of the drawers. http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...B/DSC01093.jpg .... A long time in the making.... but, she's coming together real nice! |
Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
It's looking awesome!

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
I love it Ed. The quality of your work is top notch. I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. Can't wait to fill her up! :D

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
One day I shall be able to attain one of Ed's wonderful pieces of art, one day.

Re: Waxing Moon Humidor Thread
And.....another......
Lacewood & Quilted Maple 18.5" x 14" x 12" 450 Count I like what the Brother did for the trays... he wants to accommodate some box storage so he asked for a 1/3 tray on the bottom level, then a 1/3 & a 1/2 Tray and then two 1/2 trays..... Each level has 2.5".... http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n.../WMWH100F1.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n.../WMWH100F2.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n.../WMWH100F3.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n.../WMWH100F4.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n.../WMWH100F5.jpg |
