BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

hahahahaha:headroll:
thanx guys so much.
it's such a relief to know my cigars are fine now. the humidor is just chillin along and it's a great feeling to finally be done.
especially now in that heat wave.
now I just need to get many more cigars
and any of you guys are always welcome at my place to join me for a cigar.
and Dave, I might have to take you up on that offer
Yeah thats impressive alright. I'm looking to move up to a cabinet humidor and am just beginning to explore the options. I doubt I will go with trying to make one myself but out of curiosity what was your final $$$ on the materials? I have a feeling you saved thousands and could probably make a lot of money as a side hobby if you wanted to. -hint -hint

materials were somewhat around $2500ish, but no more than $3000.
making them is not economical for a guy like me because I would have to charge so much that other companies actually end up being cheaper than me yet have been doing this obviously longer.
the only reason I built it myself was the challenge and also I had very clear ideas of the woods I wanted to use.
Arlin Liss would charge around $15-20000 for a piece that size I guess but man his work is amazing, so even if I would charge half that it's still a lot of money.
the veneering is really what took so long, cutting all my own veneer, bookmatching it and veneering the whole case.

Its...its beautiful! Great work man. Love the veneer on it and the sliding shelves. What type of wood is the veneer anyway?
