New Humi in the works !

[SteveH]

Gents,
Been MIA for a bit....way too much business travel to nowhere nice :sh

Regardless, my small desktop humis are full; and its finally time to move up to something bigger. Here's some quick drawings - I'll update the thread periodically as things get moving (and I have questions for you guys !).


Hope all have been well !

Nice solid boards :D

The only outstanding item is I have a stained glass (Art-Deco) front window that is being made. It will still allow clear viewing of the cigars of course; just some light decoration around the edges. The humidor has recessed LED strips around the door that provide light - I'll snap the pics after the other window is installed.

Thanks guys....Quick question for ya'll:

There's a plastic odor in the humidor. Of course it smells like cedar; but the humidification device is off gassing pretty strong. Im sure after I get it filled with sticks it'll be ok...but in the meantime I was thinking of finding some whole leaf tobacco to get it right. Thoughts ?

Thanks !

Steve, if you have a jointer, I'd run a scrap stick of spanish cedar across it a few times, catch the shavings and maybe place them in a stocking. Then hang it close to your humidifier. I'm thinking the chips in the stocking would catch the largest amount of odor, then you can toss them after a few weeks.

Amazing work! Can't wait for a final pic!:tu

Hrmm...Good idea. I unfortunately don't have a jointer; but I'll do it the old-fashion way with a hand plane :) My power planer has a heli-head; so it just makes fine dust.

What a beautiful humi. I am sure it feels great now that its done.
