A little progress on the big curved humi

[Bill Wyko]

Here are a couple more pics of the project. This thing has been like getting Masters in awesometrickular unobtanium. I've had to invent methods along the way to plan for the future steps I'll have to invent. Anyhoo enjoy the pics.

Bill.

Your work is amazing.  It is wonderful to see someone who has been given a gift utilize it.  I can't speak for the others here but when I see an update post from you I get excited.

I have to echo Peter's response.  You never cease to amaze and bring the wow factor, Bill.  Bravo!

Wow,  You'll need a lot of Cigars to fill that one up!  Absolutely beautiful.  You should publish a photo book of your work.

Thanks guys. You are a true inspiration. Between my wood work, my car stereo shop and my little offroad business, I've got no time left to even enjoy a cigar these days. I will slowly beat this economy into submission though. I would like to publish a photo book some day. Don't know if it would sell but it would be fun to look at.

Bill,

Very nice,  are you finishing the wood as you go?  If not, that wood is amazing.

 

[Bill Wyko]

Yes I am. The finish is Minwax Tung Oil. It's got 4 coats on it. I don't want the oil to get into tight spots so I finish as I go. By the weekend I want to have the floor in it and the panels in perminantly.

Bill, superb craftmanship.  I would buy the book !  Is this one built to order or is it just something you fancied doing & dare i ask how much something like this would sell for.
Keep up the fantastic work & thanks for posting the step by step photos.

Cheers, woodguy.

And if when you write a book I hope it contains a lot of how to regarding your techniques and not just pictures, although the pictures are GREAT.

If you have any questions about the method to the madness I'm more than happy to answer them. Just let me know. ;D

I concurr.. post like this are excellent:-

Here is the inlay technique. You begin by gluing up some pieces to make these stripes.
Glue them together and youhave an inlay.

Also is great to see a number of techniques come together, many books just focus on one area

When I finish the project I'll post as much as I can of the build from beginning to end. I'm trying to document as much as I can.

Bill,

You are in a league of your own.

Well, I know one other that can do what you do with furniture. He also has over 1 mil in equipment though.

Bill great work as always. One piece of advice, how about in the future you keep all of the updates in the original post so members can find all of the project's info in one place, it can save a little band width too.

Agreed.  It would be easier for your fans to follow your progress all in one post.  Or at least one post per project.

Also, you should include the link to your humidor website more often.  I found it looking through some of your old posts to see your past projects.  Very impressive.

For those of you who haven't seen it.  It's www.humidorminister.com
