The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

I know there are a few "take a picture" threads.... but nothing with just Wineadors!!!

A lot of us guys are going the Wine Cooler route and I know I would love to see a thread of nothing but Wine Cooler Builds.

Seeing pictures of builds helps us members get an idea on how we want to move forward on our wineador builds and gives us a lot of ideas as well.

I think having a thread with nothing but pics of wine coolers be it big or small units would be awesome!

Forrest is making some sweet drawers and shelves now for wine coolers (WaxingMoon & Chasidor as well) , and who doesn't want to see some of the finished product as far as what people went with, the look of drawers and shelf combinations, and the style and finish.

I look forward to everyone posting their Wineador pics and please feel free to write a few details about your actual wine cooler unit, what you did during your build and the materials you used to complete it with (KL, Beads, Hygros, drawers, fans etc.).

Thanks so much guys, and get to putting up some of those pictures!!! :)


Here is mine:

Huy, I think he was looking to start one for wineadors only, no humidors allowed. Love the humidor thread tho. Good idea Chris, I was looking to set one of these up and would love to see more.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

This is the ticket. I'm getting one of these...

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Mac - What do you have on the bottom of your Edgestar? Is that something to absorb condensation?

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Garrett...that is a special three pound bag of Shilala's beads that Scott included with the sale of the vino. Also have the same thing on top of the first drawer.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Newair 28- Nothing special other than 2 fans from the Hydra active humidifier (Not using the Hydra just the adapter to power the fans) that I bought for my cabinet and 3lbs of Heartfelt beads.

Nice to see some new Wine Coolers!

A lot of us are going the wine cooler route so having a thread for us new guys to get some ideas from is awesome.

Keep the Pix coming guys!!!

I've got many pics from forums that I have saved to my photobucket that I will post in here as well.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Dayum Mac! Quite impressive, now I TOTALLY understand the "No Vacancy" issue lol...."Time to smoke up Johnny!"

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Great looking wineador. Where did you get the shelves?

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Very nice, all amazing setups you have guys!

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

http://www.cheaphumidors.com/p_TRAY.html

Found the handles at lowes on clearance for a dollar a piece (they were perfect cause i wanted something the same brushed nickel kinda color and style as the handle on the cooler door)

I like the look and with 7 trays I can hold a bunch of singles and it all cost me a little over 70 bucks it all.

Using Exquisicat KL (about 3lbs) in a few media bags, used electrical tape to seal off the drain plug, an Oust fan at the bottom for circulation and 2 Caliber III digital Hygrometers / temp gauges to monitor the levels at the top and bottom.

Stayed rock steady at perfect Rh and the temp is just right set at the highest level of 66... it stays around 78.

I still want to get some drawers from forrest but this will work for now and I actually REALLY like the looks of this though and how it turned out.

Thanks so much for the compliment on my cooler bro.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Very nice setups guys!
Someday I hope to join this group but for now it is the coolidor route!

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

I'd be careful with the cat litter. I'm pretty sure it won't absorb and also release humidity if there is "extra" humidity in the air. Lots of threads here on humidity and proper care ie: beads, sheets, ect.

I'd love to take a pic of my edgestar, but I've been waiting to hear back from Ed on a door. So right now it just keeps beer cold. :(

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

I am digging the indian style picture taking!:r

Very nice setup brother!!!


You to Tony, looks great!

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Is that a Jersey I see you wearing?

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

It almost looks like a Calgary Flames jersey.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Nope, the Exquisicat litter he is referencing works just fine. Absorbs and releases moisture and maintains rock solid humidity.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Sweet Wineadors!!!:tu

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Foster that is way to empty, be careful now!!!

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Hello folks. I just saw this thread the other day and have been looking at a lot of reviews for various wine coolers. This isn't a very expensive route (compared to regular coolers maybe but, compared to wooden boxes these aren't that much) BUT, the only problem that I'm having while reading these reviews is that a lot of people who have had these (the average seems to be about a year, some longer) is that they go bad, as in completely die out. So for those of you who've been using these for a while, what's your experience with this?

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

3 yrs and counting on Edgestar 28 #1, 6months and counting on Edgestar 28 #2

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Mine is a 38 bottle Frigadaire compressor-driven that I modded for cigars. It'll get down to around 40 degrees if I want, I keep it at 70.
The drawers are of oak and poplar and they run on standard drawer glides, just like kitchen drawers. The bottom is left open for my travel humidors and boxes. It's not as deep as the rest of the unit because that's where the compressor sits, so a drawer didn't make sense.
I sewed up special HCM bead bags that fit perfectly without interfering with the way I like to stack cigars in my drawers. The drawer liner shown is actually for the bottom of the unit. There's a couple pounds of beads in it, I suppose.
I made a few of these modded units along the way. I got rid of a couple because it was too much. I keep this one because it's my desktop. :D

Sweet setup Scott!!!:tu:tu

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

scott,what are the mods than you have done?
here,the compressor chiller is much more cheaper than a thermoelectric...huge different...

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Sweet Set-Up, Scott! :banger :D :tu

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

love the drawer of beads scott :tu

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Sweet setup Tony and yes it's a Flames jersey. Next time I'll wear my Wings jersey and fight myself :D

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

You're lookin at it, brother. I powered an ac adapter off the mains to drive the fans, they run 24/7. They are angled in such a fashion to dry the back of the unit which acts as the evaporator.
When I built the drawers I kept them short enough to allow airspace all behind them, then beneath them, so the air flows all around the unit. The drawers are open gapped on the sides to allow airflow.
It's all real simple, no rocket surgery whatsoever.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

You Did It "Right", Brother!:D :tu

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
 

Nice looking Wineadors everyone......one of these days.

Re: The "Take A Pic Of Your Wineador" Thread
