begins construction this weekend ... if anyone is interested in watching it come together step by step I'll go through the trouble of documenting it for them.

That would be cool, fire up a youtube video

That would be very interesting, I'll follow that.

Pics are a must  

I agree, pic's at least.

Ha pics are necessary but a YouTube would be cool. I'm not so technically inclined, I do good to post pics...

That would be cool certainly some pics on the site

OK ... first ... I'm too ugly and fat for YouTube and I simply do not have that "voice" for videos.  However, I can develop web pages and that is what I've done.

Toys For Tots Humidor Build

Mondays are the best days to catch up.

 

Toys for tots? I must not have been paying attention. Are you building and donating a humidor for our annual Toys for Tots drive?

Yes ... it is a privilege ... drop by every Monday or so to see the progress.

Awesome, that is great donation for a great cause "Toys for Tots"!  
       

I like the website, very nice! Will be fun to watch this progress too.

I like the webpage idea, I will surely be checking in.

Programmed and implemented a new image viewer ... should enhance the viewing experience someshat ...

Site look's good. Nice pic's so far. Looking forward to progress.

Good looking craftsmanship! Do you have to have bought a humidor already and have a serial number to log onto your site? I can't find a way to register without one.

I just cut some black walnut burls off of a tree the other day. I bet they would be absolutely gorgeous on a humidor.

Reversed the order of the slideshow so that the newest step is first ... veneering begins this today ...

CT, not sure if you saw the other thread. This is a very generous gesture and I trust you have taken a look at how the Toys for Tots drive was run over the past couple of years in our community. Since you're new, I wanted to make sure there's good coordination to ensure the Toys for Tots organization gets the maximum benefit of our collective donations.

If you are donating 100% of the cost to manufacture and ship the humidor that would be the best outcome for the Toys for Tots organization.

If your intention is to sell the item, even at a reduced price, to recoup some/all of your costs then I would respectfully decline the item for the fundraiser I coordinate. To date, I have only used items that were donated free and clear to maximize the cash sent to Toys for Tots and to prevent other entities from leveraging the fundraiser for personal gain.

Initially, I asked you to cover the cost of the hinge, you agreed, I've even backed off of that position.

I have no intention of directly selling on this site until I buy a $49 advertisement (I've already spoken with management with regards to this).

Profit?  You are kidding, right?  I'm donating around $75.00 of materials and 15 hours of personal time.  I do not see a profit anywhere to be found in this arrangement or in my relationship with the Geeks on the forum.  It is pretty obvious that no one is knocking down my door to purchase anything.

But I am still here, donating a totally unique piece of furniture to a good cause.  

 

CT, let me be very clear with you so there is no misunderstanding beyond this post.

One: You are mistaken. I never struck any kind of agreement or arrangement with you.  Period.  Better check the other thread.

Two: Apparently this slipped by you in the post above.  I don't want any part of a donation that comes with a due bill or strings attached - regardless of how much or how little.  $130 ($55 for brass hinges and $75 for shipping) is a steep price for someone to pay for the privilege of raffling off a "donated" item.

Three: I don't have exclusivity for raising funds for Toys for Tots and you're more than welcome to raffle your humidor on the site and make a donation to a wonderful cause - I hope you will.

CT do you happen to be related to a former member of the site that lives in California? You remind me alot of him for some reason.

   

There seems to be a picture in your build website that refers to a bit of butthurt??? I am sure it just got misplaced there

What pic is that, I can't seem to find anything out of the ordinary? Maybe it was removed?

BTW, looking at the pics, I see that I actually won the name that humidor contest with my "Eye of the Tiger" suggestion but I haven't received any kind of confirmation. I wonder if I should be holding my breath for it?

Blue will be a great color on you, Sebastian!

Still holding my breath, am blue now, and you are right, this color does fits me well. I don't need an Avatar anymore, I am an AVATAR.
