Looks great! Good use of LEDs. A man after my own heart, I will be updating my humi project soon... like a couple days as I am finishing up with the LED portion!
Great work so far. When i read that you are just painting it black my jaw dropped because you spent so much time making it out of actual wood rather than some POS wood. But when I read further that it still shows off the grain my jaw returned to normal. This project looks great, keep up the...
Mike,
Thanks for letting me enjoy this tasting, I am glad you were able to stop by last night. Hope you enjoy the 5 smokes I gave ya to replace the ones you sent me.... Enjoy! oh also, if you have a chance at reviewing any of them please do and let me know.
Sorry I haven't had a chance to update recently, The programming part of this project is turning out to be a beast! I could just go with a pre-made active humidification system, but I'd rather design my own... I will post more PICs when the lights go in.
UPDATE:
So... I finally added the fans to the shelves, I am not doing slits as I will just keep the fans on at all times on a low setting to make sure there is proper ventilation. Also I will not be tilting the shelves.... I may tilt a tray with some super premiums in it, but not all the boxes...
I found a nice little deal on Craigslist where they were selli ng a full box of ROI-TAN cigars... Here are some photos
I will have a few months of restoration on my hands as they were stored in a closet for all of this time... but shit, for the price I paid... It should have been for...
I have active fans rather than slots in the shelves... I like the design I came up with, I think it should work alright... I will post another post once I get some LED's and some Fans in place... the finishing touches are always the hardest part to get accomplished... but I really wanna use this...
I could be mistaken, but the point of using spanish cedar is that it holds moisture without molding, or warping. Thats why all humidors have tight fits, the wood has little movement from dry to wet.
Once finished, this is how they look...
Notice the cuts in the areas where the supporting brackets are
Final step of the night, glue the bottom board to the cabinet
If I had to do it again I would have scuffed the wood first as it didn't seem to want to stick to...
The look with the shelves in place
Image from inside looking down the length... notice, I wasn't able to completely sand out the glue marks
More of the back brace
I also wanted to secure some brackets for the front corners of each shelve as they currently had no support as it was...
Craigslist, and I have no idea, over 1000 cigars I know that...

Cheapest wood I could find, and they charged me actual shipping... well I am assuming so, it was reasonable.
Now for the next set of pics....
Notice on the...
Hehe thanks for the comment on the saw... it was my grandfathers... it works! I wish I knew about the fish tank sealer, that would have been great... oh by the way the caulk dried clear, is not noticable, and you cannot smell it... Also I placed some wood shavings from my jointer into the...
