DraysWorkShop is creating a fun, helpful, and creative environment around woodworking. From DIY Projects, Shop Hacks, and fun cinematography I think you could have a good time around here.
I am a family man, and have been around woodworking in some way most of my life. I really dove deep into during what I am going to call the "Pallet Craze" and haven't really looked back since. I feel as though I can use my creativeness through woodworking, as well as the editing process.
I enjoy it, I guess is what I am getting at. So I figured if I enjoy woodworking, and video editing to combine them into one, and make a Channel. I hope you enjoy your time watching videos, and if you have any questions or concerns shoot me a message.
Really great video, a great for me and my project. However, live in Las Vegas and I cannot find sheets of Spanish Cedar anywhere and no one can seem to order it. I went to the link that you posted on your video but they have a minimum of FOUR 4x8 sheets to order which I obviously can't use. So having trouble resourcing the wood.
I know this video is old but I'm looking at a Unisaw from 1974 and am wondering if you ever had the manual. I've been searching the web and the only ones I've been able to find are from much older models. Thanks.
This is one of the most informative and satisfying videos I have ever watched. Thank you for doing this. I really loved the small voice overs about what it's like to smoke a cigar.
This is weird to old folks like me. I'm fixing up a Delta/Rockwell model 10. I came back in the house to search for best ways to prepare the cabinet surface for repainting or touch-up. I landed on this video. The weird part is that just yesterday while working on the top, I found a spatter that is almost identical to the one close to the edge on this one. My heart kind of sank and I starting wondering how I would deal with it. There was just no way there would be a tutorial on it. Imagine my surprise to find something similar when I wasn't even looking for it. Thanks!
I just found a stand alone wooden cabinet i want to make into a humidor! This was nice to see and i wish you were in the neighborhood to invite over for help, a drink, & smoke! Lol thanks for the video
Love the video. I was born in Cuba, my family is from Spain and I became a free man in Florida. Smoking a good cigar and drinking Cuban coffee " a colada" is like time-traveling for me. Only a few people will understand what it feels like. Blessings my brother! 🙏
Awesome build and video, couple of questions as I am building my own 65x33.5x15.5, curious what glue and sealant you used (especially on the cedar lining. Also noticed you didn't use any hardware, have you had any issues since it was built with the cedar warping?
Its really awesome, no doubt about, more so because you upcycled something else. But I'm wondering about the controlling mechanism. Is this just a cabinet that you have to remember to put bowls of water into? Is there an aftermarket humidity packet, or regulator? So what's the secret to making sure its right with little or no maintenance? Thanks
Loved the voiceovers from brothers of the leaf, and the phenomenal job above all! I can see the passion. Great mate! I hope to build one as good as yours when I get my own garage shop working
Great video, reviewing your video, help provide me with some information. I purchased this 113.206931 over 25 years ago, and did some maintenance, but needs some serious maintenance in the infeed table. Now than I am retired, I have more time to do some serious maintenance with my jointer. Great tips and nice job restoring a classic jointer. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. Ernest
Hey Wessel. Just a typical Clear Coat spray, nothing special. It was going behind the spanish cedar inlay so I knew it wouldn't be an issue. I also let it dry and air for around 6 hours before continuing work. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks Jacob! That's really what I wanted out of this video, as I know most people watching this have probably seen many of the videos with all the voices I used!
I know Doug i have been slacking. I have really had trouble finding the time to sit down and go through all of the footage. Just had alot going on the last few months, but hopefully soon! Thank you for the comment buddy!
great video easy instructions....thank you !! Unfortunately i am unable to apply because my cuts are all over the place. My backshoe is nice and square and flat ,however my front shoe is totally wacked out....I have tried to sand it down carefully ,but its just not getting to wear it is flushed with the backshoe....any suggestions. Also my blades seem to shift after installment...shown by uneven cut on one side... Thank you again !!!
Wow that is an absolutely amazing job... That is what all cigar storing Furniture should look like..... It should be a piece of furniture that is passed on and that's exactly what he Turn this into....
Great video !! I was wondering what type of door sealant did you use on the front door ? And did you choose a different lock system for each of the door? Thanks !!
Hey Jeff. So for the sealant on the front door, I actually used weather stripping on the insides of the doors. For the latches, I used window latches. I found some that were cheap and looked really nice. I don't really have a need to lock it up, so I didn't put any sort of lock on it You can see the door stripping and window latches at @12:50. Thanks for the comment man and I am glad you liked it.
I know Jay, I have been so busy the last few months. Hopefully soon I will be able to sit down, and go through all of the footage to complete it. Thanks for the comment!
This is a great video! I am in the process of building my own and found your video. I started with 4/4 (inch thick) cedar boards and milled them down into 1/8" thick boards I glued up into panels. I ended up building shelves similar to you. I love the idea of the walnut trim and will probably copy that idea for mine. I am using an oasis humidifier and one of the things I am struggling with is how to provide sufficient seals to be able to maintain humidity. I've decided to actually not use any at first and see if my humidifier will keep up. The other thing I don't have a lot of experience with is power management - for now planned on installing an outlet someplace inside the cabinet where I can plug in the humidifier and lights. Any information you have on that topic would be helpful. Also any learnings and/or things you would do differently now that you've had yours a couple of years would be helpful. Really great job! I hope mine looks half as good.
First off sorry for being so late! I cant really help with the power management situation, as I maintain mine with the XL Boveda packs and that works really well for me. I do see a little struggle during the winter times, but nothing a couple extra packs doesnt help. For sealing around the doors, I just used adhesive rubber window seals. The one thing I would change in my build in particular, would be to adjust the upper shelves a little, and give me a little more room for box storage underneath the top shelf. Thanks for the comment and I am sure yours has turned or will turn out great!
Awesome job. So many of those old display cases at the junk stores these days, shouldn't be difficult to find one for myself. By the way, how are you maintaining the humidity in the case? Manual or do you have something else going on in there.
Hey Ted! Thanks for the compliment! I have been using 4 of the 320g Boveda packs. 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom. Those do really well for keeping the humidity just right. I will also use smaller packs occasionally while re-seasoning the larger ones! Have a great day!
Hey Dewayne thanks for the compliment. I did use some staples to put in the spacers in the back of the humidor, but I was afraid they might blow out, and I knew the wood glue would be strong enough to hold it together, but I am sure if I would have looked a little harder I probably could have found some that would work! Hope you have a good day!
Congrats for your amazing and inspiring video, bro. What kind of chalk did you used for ensure proper seal between your layers of wood ? (Minute 2:02). Cheers
