TheDistrictJP Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Looking forward to seeing how you stock this beast. Are you unboxing everything or is there a place for box storage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goble Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Storing what boxes I can on the bottom. Eventually I will seal the two very bottom compartments on each side for boxes, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goble Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Thought I should give a little update on the project. Getting very close to being done! Should be moving it into the house one day next week!!!! (82) A lot of you are going to call sacralidge on this for painting a beautiful solid wood hutch, just, as I did! I love natural wood myself, as well. My wife however, wanted it painted to match the kitchen in which it will sit. So, in order to be able to bring it into the house I thought that was a small trade. I got my Humie and she got the color she wanted LOL! However after getting it almost done I really like it better painted than the natural wood! Everyone has there opinions, so lets hear yours! First coat of Slate Gray Paint. (83) First round of antiquing glaze applied. The glaze gives the appearance of old weathered wood. (84) Painting and glazing complete, all hardware reinstalled, doors and drawers back on, as well, as and edges sanded a little to mimic wear and tear on the cabinet. All that is left to do is reinstall the lock in the door and wax the entire cabinet. Will be moving it into the house sometime this week. This is a bitter sweet post for me. I'm happy, as heck to be almost done with it, but I will miss working on it a little every evening LOL! Might be time to start on a walk-in? The next post will be the last after I have it in its final resting place and loaded up with smokes! I figure it will take three to four weeks to season up enough to start loading. I can't wait!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goble Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 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) Finally, the money shots! All loaded up and working great!!! The next few pics were taken under a 6,000K Photographers Studio Light. (87) Looks washed out in the pics, but in person the LED's just give off a very soft white glow. I have, however found out that the lights can only be used for very short periods of time because they raise the internal temp by 5-10 degrees depending on the outside temps. Kind of a bummer, as it looks fantastic with them on. (88) The last few pics were taken under regular incandescent light. Well, that's it folks! It has been a very fun build and I couldn't be more happy with the final results! If anyone is in the process or thinking about doing something like this I would encourage you to go for it and custom retrofit or build something that can be handed down for generations to come that is as good or better than anything that can be bought pre-fab. If anyone should have any questions please feel free to message me, [email protected] Thanks for following the thread and thanks for all the great comments along the way! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickmccarey Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Congrats on finishing! It turned out beautiful. Really love the vintage lines to the cabinet and love that you went with that colour as opposed to some "cherry" stain or somthing like that.

hulklogan Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 How is it holding up? Temp/humidty? This is a great project and I am considering doing something similar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goble Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 So far it's doing awesome! I took out all the extra bead packs two weeks ago and am now only running the humidifing boxes. I actually timed it's cycle just this evening. The humidifiers kick on bout every 15min and run for 1min 30-40sec. I assume that's good, as I have nothing to compare it too?

Goble Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Well, I have it in a room with a window AC Unit and a fan sitting in front of the AC blowing on the cabinet from a range of about 4'. I have a thermometer sitting up on top of the cabinet on the outside and that thermometer usually runs a couple degrees warmer than the internal temp of the cabinet. Over night and through late morning the internal temp runs 68-70 and for the hottest part of the day, which is early evening in my house the temp can get up to 73-74 depending on how hot it is outside, but it starts dropping back down by late evening. So, absolutely no problems of heat radiating out from the control box located inside the cabinet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrimbath Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Amazing!! It has to be infinitely more enjoyable knowing that you did all the work yourself rather than just buying a finished one. I really had a fun time reading your thread. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodofFire Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Absolutely stunning. You are a complete chinador creator. First of its kind seen ina forum. Thanks for all that you have shown us. Now to figure out how someone like myself with limited skills can do something like this but maybe ona smaller scale. For lining the cabinet how much Cedar did it take to just line the sides bottom and back of this gorgeous cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
