Am I being too picky? (picture heavy)

[Silound]

Speaking as a hobbyist and one who occasionally builds grandfather clock bodies and other things out of hardwood, I have to agree with Scott on this.

There is absolutely nothing that I can see that is wrong with the overall craftsmanship of the humidor, other than the hinges being a glaring design flaw. Had a different method of hinging been used, this box likely would have fit tightly and nicely. The laminate and miter jobs are well done, which is no easy task for even an experienced craftsman. Hell, every so often one of my miters doesn't add up perfectly, and I've been doing it for almost 15 years.

The hinges are enough to make me send it back, but that's really about it.

Thinking about this makes me want to get back into the shop and make a few humidors of my own...oddly a project I've never undertaken.
