Another Cigar Case

[Daniel Tyack]

Here's a cigar case I made for myself. It was my first legit floral carving attempt and the second box I have ever made and needless to say it took me WAAAY too long! Oh well, I dig it and I'm pretty stoked on how it came out

I got the this design (with permission of course) from one did for a water bottle. It just happened to fit perfectly.

I also made a quick video detailing the construction you can check it out here.

Tell me what you think! And for the pros out there please do tell if you see things I can improve on, I want to get better!

Enjoy!

Hey Daniel,

Thanks for posting that I really liked the first one you did and like this one even more. I would like to make a cigar case similar to this for my girlfriends dad, but I am not sure what size cigars he smokes, or what is a good size to make it so he can fit different sizes in. I also enjoyed seeing your workshop, always nice to see how different people set up their spaces. What kind of head knife is that sitting on your tabletop at the end of the video?

The main body of this case is 5.5" tall and is designed to fit cigars about the size that I like. What you can do is make a 5-6" main body and a 3-4" cap which will slide to accommodate the length. The best bet would be to find out his favorite cigar and get the measurements. Some guys like smaller sticks and some like big ones so you're going to have to find out. If you are working up a design run it by me and I'll tell you if you got your sizes right. I also found that a body piece 8" long or so works great for 4 cigars.

The head knife is one of the Al Stohlmans that Tandy sells. Glad you liked the shop, maybe I'll get a video one day when it's not so dark

DT: That came out really nice. I am glad the design worked out for you. On my facebook site, I have posted a few more patterns free to use in case you have a project coming up. Too bad I gave up smoking sticks.....it would have been a nice project for me.

Best of luck

Very nicely done, I am still strugling with fit and finish on most of my projects. You seemed to have mastered that part quite well

You get bonus points for the choice of the rocky-p's. I'll take a maduro robusto please.
