I just can't get back to it. Hopefully I'll get it done in the coming weeks.
The worst part of it is that it's in my way. Constantly.

The wood makes a guy learn his tools, and I've learned my way around them very well. I only sawed the pads off my fingers once, and it was only three of them, so that wasn't too bad.
I've completely stopped hurting myself with the table saw now.
I can crank out boxes pretty fast, and have bought the stuff I need to do what I want to do "the right way".
I'm just finishing up a desktop thermoelctric that is the coolest thing on earth, and it's turning out very well. The reason it's turning out so well is because of these couple half-assed boxes the brothers were willing to sponsor.
I've built a lot of other things by improving on techniques I learned making these boxes, and the quality, fit and finish gets better every time.
The point is...
Were it not for the brothers that sponsored this effort, I'd not have learned what I've learned. You can't price the gift of knowledge, and there aren't words to describe the thanks.
Best I can say is that there's an incredible amount of love involved in these boxes from many different angles. It's great testimony to goodness of our brotherhood.
Peace out.

Sometimes stuff happens, and patience is an easy gift to grant.

In the end things are usually worth the wait.

That is a beautiful piece of work Scott.

So do you have to remove the screws to add water to the beads? Can you show us a pic of the beads in place?

Awesome work Scott?

Awesome work Scott?

No, you never have to remove the beads.
Odds are, you'll never have to adjust the RH unless you leave it open or get incredibly wet cigars or something.
Yes, I'll take pics when I make the beads today.

Nice hummie, broh - now, if you only had some money left, you could afford to put some cigars in it.

Savor the Stick · 06-16-2009, 05:03 PM

Really good work Scott...as always. You are truly gifted.

That is awesome looking...nice job!

TheTraveler · 06-16-2009, 07:26 PM

Wow, that's really nice. Using beautiful wood definitely adds its part but the craftsmanship looks like quality too.

I love the zebrawood, but finish really takes away from it.
I'd like to try minwax on some and see how it looks.

MedicCook · 06-18-2009, 09:06 AM

Great job Scott.

06-18-2009, 09:12 AM

That is a truly beautiful piece, Scott! You have a lot more raw skill and talent than you give yourself credit for!!

Looks great man, however I do not under stand how the bead holder works. In socal, with relative rh around 30% the beads would dry out and need to be sprayed with water every month or so. How would you recharge those with out unscrewing the cover? Just wondering.
