Stunning! Really nice! My only suggestion is a modesty panel. I am in the process of making 2 desks and both will have modesty panels. I am also a big fan of hidden compartments in things like desks. Under and behind drawers usually.
I haven't made an actual humidor yet, but I have made lots of jewelry boxes. I line and sleeve them like your box (previous to this post). I would just do that but with a cedar sleeve. Also I make the sleeves taller on the bottom and not the top. My sleeves are all friction fit with no glue used at all. My boxes are very tight and have that "swoosh" when you close them. Check my previous box projects on here.
Yeah I use some weather stripping and latches and the person who got them says it holds humidity great! As far as humidor boxes do you have a picture of how it seals? I'm currently starting to make desk top humidors
Looks great I think I saw some cedar lining being added. How did you get the door to seal. Looks like some sort of seal on the doors. I have trouble keeping a small box with the correct humidity. Great job!

Hi WoodGate, thanks for being my first ever comment on Simple Cove. There is a full build video on YouTube and I would really appreciate another view/subscriber if you get the time to check it out! Search One Handed Maker or use the link below.
Beautiful piece I love the spalted sycamore! Post pics of the dresser if you have them. The split side is a great way to avoid having to glue panels up which we all probably hate.
Wow what a mountain of work! I have a 3 car garage as well but I don't like my cars not in the garage so I remain in my tiny basement shop. Good work! Now let's see some projects out of that nice new shop!
Thanks! I used a router table with left and right stops to route the channel. I carefully lowered the box down on the cutter and went left/right and carefully lifted up. Then cleaned up the corners with a chisel.
Thank you Tim! I don't think I will get $300. I think anywhere from $100 - $150 is the best I will do. I'm also going to put a couple of my 50 note music boxes and they will be priced over $1000. I'll walk around the show and see if there is any competition. If it warrants it, I'll adjust the price.
Nice work! I love flame-maple! I like how you wrapped the leather before putting it in the box. Is that glued in as well or just friction fit? I try to make all of my interiors friction fit. And I'm in the same boat trying to get motivated to do something. I have a couple projects that need finishing. It is this Corona! It's got everyone just "blah".
Wow love it! Are the drawer handles ebony? Are the drawer carcasses Cherry? Last question - drawer slides - Blum? Or something else? I have a desk to make this year (for myself) so looking for ideas.

Desk

Do the pedestals separate for moving the desk?
Humidor conversion cabinets

Chessboard made from 180 pieces of timber
I sub'd - gave you 2 new subs. I am a big fan of hidden compartments as well.
Here is a hidden motorized compartment I made.

Wow! Quite a work of art! A chess board and pieces have been on my list for a couple of years. Do you happen to have any build pictures? Good job!
Walnut and sycamore nightstand

First box I've built
Wow this is quite impressive for any box let alone a first. Inlay dovetails are fantastic. Quadrant hinges too. Great job!
White Oak wine tree and pantry conversion
I like how you bevel your pieces where they meet. This and your skipbo box. Simple yet elegant.
Dresser
I appreciate the work you put into this, but I am not at all a fan of it. I do see you used undermount drawer mounts (Blum?) which I like.
The great shop move of 2022

Whittling Knife Box
Very nice quick project! Did you consider CNC'ing his name in the lid and maybe a date?
Custom Bar for a Local Restaurant
Wow did you make the bar top yourself? The moldings too? Bar needs shelves behind it for some booze and they're ready to open! Nice work!
Veneered Box
Wow Sean very nice! I haven't seen anything from you in awhile. Now sleeve that bad-boy and put an interior in it. It would make a nice humidor.
Morley Timeless Box
Very nice box but without a sleeve/lip, how does the lid stay on/straight?
Nautical Themed Marquety Table
Thanks! I found that Veritas string tool and will order but it is out of stock until August. I would love to start stringing my drawers.
Nautical Themed Marquety Table
Yeah wow fantastic job! How did you do your leg string molding? Was that all hand-cut? I can imagine how many hours you have in this!
Midcentury Desk and Table
Wow love it! Are the drawer handles ebony? Are the drawer carcasses Cherry? Last question - drawer slides - Blum? Or something else? I have a desk to make this year (for myself) so looking for ideas.
