Step by step guide with pictures, as I take a Vintage Basset China Cabinet and convert it into a Humidor for my cigar collection. Plans are to seal and line inside of cabinet with impervious insulatio

Finally, what everyone has been waiting for including myself LOL! The "Chinador" is all loaded up and working flawlessly! (85) Just brought into the house and the seasoning begins! (86) Finall

Thanks for all the positive comments. It's still not quit done yet, but I have been hard at work and have made some major progress, as can be seen by the following pics! (64) Cutting and splicing in

Amazing, such a quality finished product. I hope i get round to tackling a project like this sometime soon, although something tells me it won't look that professional. How many hours did it take?

Thanks everyone! I still have a ways to go on it. I am waiting on the wood to come in to build three more shelves from scratch, as well, as finish the seal on the door. I also still have to install the LCD lighting along with the Thermoelectric Cooler and heater. With that being said, expect a few more pics before completion!

This is one entertaining post!! I love this kind of thing and if I can ever get away from city living and have a space to do this sort of thing.... Well, okay, most likely the fifth or sixth picture would include me slicing open my hand and then being driven to hospital....

Brilliant work, thanks for sharing!

Most awesome! (Love the woodshop too! Very well equipped!)

Can't a TE unit be made to run both ways? (For cooling and for heat?)

(#37) Last 8"x3/4"x48" piece of Spanish Cedar in today to finish building the last three shelves.

(#39) Then ripped into 12 - 2x1/4x48" strips. These will form the outside rims of the trays.

(#40) I guess it was bound to happen! I used a Push Stick on every cut I made except the last 3" of the last cut on the last board and BAM! Yep, the Table Saw strikes again. Due to cutting such thin strips, as you can see the blade sucked the wood strip down through the table and....! Just happy, as it could have been so much worse!!!

(#41) All fixed up and on to Planning LOL!

(#42) All strips planned and smooth, Will start the actual building and constructing of the shelves Monday!

I think so, by reversing the polarity. The Habitat Monitor, however will run the TE and a heating rod independently, thus no need for rewiring, just set and forget!

Yep that's how a peltier works

Ouch! But a little blood is a small thing to shed in the pursuit of finely aged stogies!

Looking forward to seeing how you set up your Habitat and heating/cooling (I'm in the planning stages on a similar humidor project).

Fantastic work bro, well done. I wish I had the fine wood working skill you demonstrate. It will look fabulous once it's filled.

What colour LEDs are you using for lighting?
