New Display Humi Metamorphosis.

[shilala]

I thought it'd be fun to track the changes to the new humi, so here it is.
I'm getting ready to start installing lights. That's number one.
All that's happened so far is that Scott (sofaman) and I struggled for hours getting it level. Then I took all my stuff and jammed it in there.
Miss Kerri had it all prettied up by opening boxes and stuff, but I made a mess out of it.
Everything is going to change, and this thing is gonna scream before it's all done.
I already have tons of ideas, but it all starts with the lights.
Here she is before the mods begin...

That...is...awesome!

[Scottw]

Awesome!!!!

[Mugen910]

All you need now Scott it to put mirrors in the back wall of your humi to have that UNLIMITED effect of cigars. :D

[Kreth]

That looks better than the display at my B&M. Sweet!

[sikk50]

Holly! Crap!

Nice cabinet! I can't wait to see what it looks like when you're done. What kind of modifications do you have in mind besides lights? Cooling? Fans? Something even better?!?!?! :eek:

[Footbag]

Lookin' good before you even start! You using LEDS?

I think it needs a ground effects kit. :r

That is a hella sweet idea, Wao. I might just steal it.

Fans, bead holders, and maybe a mirror ball and disco lights.

Cold Cathodes driven by a psu control panel.
Here's the control panel...

Great looking cabinet/display case!!

+1 for the disco ball. Shiny is goooooood. :D

It doesn't have quite the "shrine" feel of your old set up, which is not a criticism, just an observation.

It's really lovely. I can't wait to see the evolution.

Yes, disco balls are cool!

[SmokinDuck]

I like the control panel, great use of the old boxes.

But we need more pictures.

Work faster.

:ss

[dunng]

Very nice! :ss

You're a beast!

[MedicCook]

It is looking great Scott. I am extremely jealous of you right now.

Please tell me that the PSU is not going be inside your cabinet... the heat generated will really screw things up...

Pretty nice cabinet BTW...

I was gonna mount it on a hardhat and radio control the lights and fans and disco ball from my desk, actually.
It'll be awesome. ;)

[shilala]

Wait'll you guys see how perfect the lights look.
I couldn't be happier. Dl'ing the pics to my rig right now...

[Blueface]

Neat stuff.
Beautiful piece there.

[shilala]

Here's the lite rod. I have to make 3 of them. It worked out great and the hardware is totally hidden. It worked out great cause the wood was already there for the old lites which were shot.

Here's how it looks lit up. It looks harsher in the pic because of my camera settings, but it's as close to the real look as I could get.
The lighting is very soft and very sweet. Kinda like a jewelry counter.

Great lookin stuff Scott, but I think it should be 3 or 4 times bigger.:tu

[MikeyC]

Looks great Scott! I just dropped by the post office and gave them some cigars for you. You can put them in your new cabinet. :ss

[cort]

Lookin Sweet Scotty-Boy. Maybe Bao can send the mirrors from his celing to you for the backdrop.;)

[Yazzie]

Very nice Scott

[tchariya]

That is sooo beautiful!

It could be a little bigger!

[SmoknTaz]

Looks awesome :tu I will be dreaming about this for a long time!

[alley00p]

Outstanding job, Scott! I loved it when I saw the first pictures, but it looks so sweeet!!! :ss


I wish I had a quarter of your talent! :tu







:dance::dance::dance:

[BigBruce]

Scott that looks even better in your house then it did on the phone. Wow is all I can say!! :ss

[kayaker]

That look friggin AWESOME!!!

Can't wait to see the final version.

[shilala]

I got all the lights installed and I have a low power problem.
I have to split up the leads to supply them with different rails from the psu.
If that doesn't do it, I'll have to bump up the psu or split the lites up on different ac adaptors.
Ugh.
In my defense, I had the sense to pull extra wires in case this became an issue. :)

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

Wow, cant wait for the final piece!!

[cort]

You done yet Scott?:D

[shilala]

You done yet Scott?:D
I would be but I had to go help a buddy move (in with me, he's on the skids) and then I had to fix the neighbor's tub.
Now I gotta take Kerri somewhere.
Then when I get home I may be able to work on my baby again.

that cabinet is really nice man.

how does that moist-n-aire work for you?

i have been looking for an old china closet to convert and i am still up in the air aboot what kind of active humidification device to use. i know those have been around for a long time but there are some new devices out with more bells and whistles...

Ya know, I didn't have any expectations on the moistnaire, but it's working fabulously.
The humi is pretty wide open so it's able to move the humidity around really well. I have a bunch of hydras that I was planning to use, but now I'm not sure what I want to do.
For the moment the moistnaire is doing an excellent job and I'm not using any beads at all.

I just got all my lights hooked up and running from the control panel.
I had one bum light and I just replaced it.
Next is to pull wire for the hydras and fans. I have to run for more wire though, so I'm in a holding pattern right now. :)
