Fridgador galore!...my path to a new humi
 

So I finally got a little work done on my new fridgador, not the coveted Vino but it definitely is doing the job. It's a New Air AW-280E thermoelectric 28 bottle cooler. Got some 3/8" x 4" x 36" spanish cedar from Woodcraft and 4 trays are incoming from Tim (Mtmouse). Beads are courtesy of Scott (shilala).

Here it is empty last week

I was doing some work this weekend with the help of a buddy of my father's

It was actually smoking from the friction

The idea for one shelf

Loaded in the shelves

Seasoned the wood 3 times with some boiling water which kind of over did it (put me up to 80%), but left it over night and now put in the beads from Scott and a fan to help circulate

It's coming down to about 70% right now, and put in the boxes I have to see if that'll help settle it and lower the RH back to the proper 65% I'm looking for.

I can't wait to get the trays from Tim, then it'll be just about getting the right settings and enjoying the ceegars. :ss

I believe you will not regret it.:ss

Re: Fridgador galore!...my path to a new humi
 

Nice job. Thanks for the pics.

Re: Fridgador galore!...my path to a new humi
 

Nice. Now comes the fun part....filling it up!! :D

Re: Fridgador galore!...my path to a new humi
 

Very nice Adam! So how long did that new humi last? :ss

Re: Fridgador galore!...my path to a new humi
 

The one I paid about 250% over on from CigarMasters in Boston? It lasted till I got home from massphatness's HERF. You guys blew it up and shattered it to splinters.

Re: Fridgador galore!...my path to a new humi
 

Sweet, looks great. i am going (hopefully) tomorrow to pick up some SC from a local woodcraft. time to get those lame wire shelves out!

Re: Fridgador galore!...my path to a new humi
 

How many boards did you order? I am trying to figure out how much I need for shelving in mine. I was thinking about making 4 shelves with two boards per shelf but I like your idea of 3 boards per shelf with holes for circulation.

Re: Fridgador galore!...my path to a new humi
 

i ordered 6 boards to make 12 pieces (ended up being 1 board to 2 pieces because the width of my air-ador was 14 3/8"). I ended up screwing up a couple boards because I was originally trying to make slots instead, but it was too difficult to keep them clean and even. I was very happy to have the extra boards. And the little 7" extra pieces I had are going to hold up the feet and help line the bottom in the summer (in case the thing sweats).

Re: Fridgador galore!...my path to a new humi
 

Lookin' good Adam! I really like your shelves and I look forward to seeing your new fridge all filled up like Vin's. :ss

Re: Fridgador galore!...my path to a new humi
 

Great stuff adam!!! Nice shelves!

Re: Fridgador galore!...my path to a new humi
 

Very cool, thanks for the pics.

Re: Fridgador galore!...my path to a new humi
 

Great job.

Re: Fridgador galore!...my path to a new humi
 

Lookin good, Adam. That's the very same Frigidaire I use. 3 of them. :tu
You absolutely have to plug the drain and add a fan pointing at the evaporator plate in the back. The Oust fans won't touch it.
Drop me a pm and I'll make you a double 3 speed computer fan setup with guards. It'll work perfect. Molarman just got a Frigidaire, too. I made him one and it turned out simple and nice. :tu

Re: Fridgador galore!...my path to a new humi
 

That looks sweet. I can't wait to get my shelves ordered and get my vino up and running. :D

Re: Fridgador galore!...my path to a new humi
 

Nice looking setup you got there. Can't wait to see some more pics when it's all full:D

Re: Fridgador galore!...my path to a new humi
 

Singles trays in from Tim (Mtmouse) this week. The RH is holding nicely at 65% right now...

Re: Fridgador galore!...my path to a new humi
 

Yeah I had to put the Mac 15

Re: Fridgador galore!...my path to a new humi
 

If your house is at all warm condensation will be at the bottom of the Vino, you might want to take those boxes off the bottom of the fridge. :2

Re: Fridgador galore!...my path to a new humi

Re: Fridgador galore!...my path to a new humi
 

Nice work Adam, I gotta pimp out my new vino.

Re: Fridgador galore!...my path to a new humi
 

Congrats on the new addition. I did like you and cut circular holes in my shelves as well. Pretty cool look and a hell of a lot easier than slots.

Nice job! :tu:
