Looks like this is going to be one beautiful cabinet. Is the front curved? It's a little hard to tell from the picture.

Yes, there is about a 2" curve in the front. That was Dave's idea (my brother in law that is doing the woodworking). He said he wanted a challenge, go figure.

Hey Jon,

Now that I know you are relatively close by ( only 400 miles away ), I'm dying to see the finished product in person this summer...

Hey Rudy, anytime. The cabinet should be finished some time in March so if you're out this way stop by for a smoke and check it out.

Hi Jon,

That's an absolutely beautiful, albeit impressive piece of tobacciana/furniture.

Good luck on the rest of the project. You have many inmate going bonkers waiting for the "finished product".

Not much has happened over the Christmas break but I thought I would add a brief update.

The Spanish cedar lining started this week. It's a frame and panel style lining with the frames providing solid attachment for the shelves and the vertical panels floating in the frames to allow for movement.

Here are some of the frames (the panel pieces haven't been cut yet)


A lacquer finish was applied to the main walnut cabinet. Here's a picture showing the finish and one of the Spanish cedar frames.


Dave has to jump on to another project for a few weeks so nothing new will be happening with the woodworking for a while. I'll be laying out and testing the electronics over the next few weeks.

Thanks for looking. I can't wait until this thing is done.

Hey, thanks. It’s nice to see it finally coming together after months of planning and hard work. My current stash won’t come close to filling it, not by a long shot, but I’m going to have fun spending the next 5-10 years trying.

Well after a week or so off things are back on track and coming along nicely.

The cedar lining for the top, bottom and sides is finished. It's actually a separate box that sits inside the main cabinet.

Here you can see the 'box' within a 'box' with a gap for the insulation and wiring.

This is the start of the main control panel with the temp/humidity control as well as the fans, lights and a low water warning light.

Here's an overall shot


We're going to add the insulation and start running wires next week and then it's on to the back panel, the shelves, and the doors. We're shooting for a March 16th completion date but we'll see how things go.

What kind of insulation are you putting in? I would think with the cooling unit and humidity involved in this project you would want to be careful about what you're using so as not to get mold from condensation in the insulation.
