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.
