Been out of town on trips with spouse and to visit family in Tennessee. This is a continuation of the Humidor project, first part was Humidor I. Second part was Humidor II. The hinges required me to use a chisel, mallet, combination square and marking knife to lay them out and cut them. I placed …
Continuation of the Humidor project, first part was Humidor I. I used a dado blade to cut dados in the front and back pieces, as well as a dado for the top and a groove for the bottom. With that done, I glued up the sides and bottom. . The sides will sit in the …
I’ve spoken before about setting aside one weekend a month to do shop maintenance and improvement. Clean up the shop, fix up or sharpen tools and build jigs to make the work flow better. Its been something that I have enjoyed and a chance to “reset” my brain for the work. This month, I had …
I have been approached over the last several years at markets from folks interested in me making a Humidor for them. While I have made lots of boxes in the past, I have yet to make one of those, and figured it was time to give it a try. It’s a rather involved process, so …

With my shoulder laid up, I have been trying to do some limited shop maintenance that pretty much involves one arm. While I can manipulate the fingers and elbow, they don’t want me to pick stuff up or have my arm go above my shoulder. Needless to say, that limits what I can do. One …
Well, 61+ years have caught up to me. I injured my right shoulder about 15 years ago, and though I had rehab and continued to do the rehab exercises 2-3 times a week, eventually it caught up to me. After visiting my doctor in October, it turned out the strands holding my rotator cuff up …
