I use mine a lot. Great for transporting the goods in a sporran.

That looks like a good size!

Well I am making progress. Before cutting up expensive wood I experimented with getting the shape right. Here is the first rendition of the lid so I now know I can make the computer talk to the CNC machine. More developments to follow.

Sounds like it's frustratingly fun! Thanks for the update!

Something to do during the lock down.

Any idea what will fit in these with normal density? How many grams/ounces of ribbon? Will a regular Mac Baren flake fit in unmolested?

I’m amped up to see the final prototype!!!!

 

[condorlover1]

Thank you for your kind encouragement!

 

[Spinkle]

Looks great very curious to see the completed prototype. What sort of material is that that you’ve used?

 

[hauntedmyst]

Looking good. I might be in when we are a more final prototype.

 

[DotAndBang’sPipes]

I’m pretty excited about this. Keep going!

Actually making good progress. The CNC machine is talking to the computer. Our tech dude Odd Ball has drawn everything out and maybe tomorrow we will chuck a lump of wood into the machine and give it a whirl. The faux bakelite version isn't too bad but its still not up to the standard I want. If it isn't perfect in every way it gets smashed. I am still trying to source the humidifier elements to be recessed into the lid.

@BROBS Thats very interesting. What I am looking for is something the size of 1/2 dollar which has a filament similar to a humidor that will fit into a machined recess in the lid so its flat and contiguous to the domed top of inside of the Baccy Flap. The idea is to provide a constant humidity to the tobacco without the risk of warping or cracking the wood if another source of moisture is used.

Does it really need a humidifier? I think I might rather have one that doesn't have one. Having said that, it sounds like you looking for something like this:
