This is a desk top Humidor I built for myself. It's made from Figured Bubinga, Quilted Maple and Spanish Cedar. It'll hold 50 cigars. The hinges are hand made from Bubinga and the corners are double, double Box  Joints. The finish is 5 coats of Tung oil and 3 coats of paste wax. This is another project that I didn't draw or write any dimensions down. That little voice in my head just won't shut up until I start cutting. In my gallery at www.festoolownersgroup there's 100 pictures with descriptions of the build. Please enjoy.

AS far as the use of the Incra goes, I've developed my own way to use it which gives me a much better end result. It was very difficult to be consistent using their method. Now It can be 100% repeatable so I never have 2 joints with slight differences. Their method is a great starting point though.
