New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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!

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

Awesome!!!!

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

Holly! Crap!

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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:

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

I think it needs a ground effects kit. :r

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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...

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

Great looking cabinet/display case!!

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

+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.

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

Yes, disco balls are cool!

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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

But we need more pictures.

Work faster.

:ss

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

Very nice! :ss

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

You're a beast!

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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...

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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. ;)

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

Neat stuff.
Beautiful piece there.

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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.

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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.

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

Very nice Scott

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

That is sooo beautiful!

It could be a little bigger!

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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:

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

That look friggin AWESOME!!!

Can't wait to see the final version.

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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. :)

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

Wow, cant wait for the final piece!!

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

You done yet Scott?:D

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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.

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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...

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

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. :)

Re: New Display Humi Metamorphosis.
 

you sir, are a man after my own pull the wires, design it and build it myself mentality. :tu
