Thank you so much for everything, the super great instructional videos and accessibility to the high quality hardware. Thanks again
Hi Ian, for your vac brushes, what types do you use. I struggle to get ones with bristles that last any length of time, and are universal enough to fit festool or Bosch’s shop vacs.

Hello, truly amazed by the quality of these videos and the perfection of the box. One question:I am about to do a Cigar Humidor with interior made ot spanish cedar , Would the hinges you have used work? I was just wondering due to the need to keep a close fit as possible to maintain the right humidity. Any suggestion is more than welcome. Maurizio
@ianhawthorne72406 ай бұрын
Hi Maurizio, thankyou for your kind words :) can you tell me the size of your Humidor? Regards Ian
@mauriziozotti43816 ай бұрын
Hi Ian, the humidor is made of maple front and walnut side 20mm thickness joined with dove tails , interior is Spanish cedar 8mm thick , box width is 370mm length 238mm and height 210mm including the lid Thank you
@ianhawthorne72406 ай бұрын
Ok understood, as you are using 20mm thick material I would recommend the large Neat Elite hinge!@@mauriziozotti4381

@@ianhawthorne7240 Have you any video comentary or guidance on where to see similar material on doing larger veneer efforts on an already constructued pice such as a speaker? That's the main personal interest I have where I can see myself needing to manage larger pieces of veneer in a matched situation. I think I am one who tends to use a metal inlay or similar to breakup joins if I'm not confident that I can make it look perfect. I'm very envious of your nice workshop and the familiar environment of work with Mrs Speilberg.... I live in a Townhouse (apartment) in Australia and my workshop is my car garage so there is no sense of permanency or pleasure when working due to the constant presence of neighbours who think I should knit for a hobby.

Chataboyance (is that the term?) is different veneer grain direction. How to match that while also book match? I guess this is where the art comes into the science - especially with larger veneer layouts.
