Humidor project

cabinetmaker

My name is Greg, I'm a cabinetmaker, and I buy and smoke lots of cigars. I stumbled upon this site about a month or so ago, and have bought two humidors and lots of cigars. My humidors are both full, and so is the one I built wayy back in college, and still I have more cigars coming, lol.... So, I decided to build my own humidor, 8cu. ft. interior, with 2 drawers that will hold 200-300 cigars each, and plenty of box storage in the bottom. I'm gonna post pics of the progress as I complete it, here are the first two:

Wow, looks great so far. Jealous of the guys who have the resources and space to do this sorta stuff! Keep us updated.

I wish this forum had more like you! I also wish I had the ability to do something like this myself. Looks great, definitely keep us up to speed with pictures as you build it. There's nothing like following along with a good project.

Spanish cedar, lumber-core meranti for the back and bottom. Bottom will be lined with 1/2" spanish cedar. Making the drawers tomorrow, I'll post some more pics when i make them, also the door and top should have glass tomorrow too. Thanks for all the kind words :-)

I didn't have time to hinge the door or do any work on it at all today, but will build and install drawers tomorrow. I did get the door and top back from the glass company, though. I'll take some better pictures with my slr camera later, these are from my phone, lol...

Looks great, I'm gonna have to get with a friend of mine who makes cabinets and see if he could make one with maybe a Snakewood or possibly a nice Leopardwood. Keep the pics coming looking good and I am jealous that I don't have the talent to do it myself.

Great work man, I spied your drill press back there, my dad has the same one and loves it. Did I also happen to see your dust collection system in one of those pics?

Very nice. I'm always impressed with people who can actually make something out of raw materials...I don't have the imagination for it....or the skills.

That's awesome.. I think that will be my project this fall when i get back home to Mississippi. My grandfather and I have gotten into custom woodworking lately. We've been building primarily gun cabinets, china cabinets, and custom orders through referrals. I think we could easily do this, just have to figure out how to keep my tolerances tight enough to keep it airtight. Great looking humidor!

Very beautiful looking cabinet you made. I see a stop on the bottom, did you put stops all the way around for the door or is the fit in the face frame tight enough for the seal? Great job.

It looks great and I am very interested! I've got a lot on my plate right now and I'm about to scoot up to DC for my bachelor party in about 30 mins but I will get in touch with you soon enough.

Nice humidor and the collection inside it is pretty impressive as well.

some day man, some day. ill have me a house with a garage, filled with tools so I can make things like that. I dont have the experience, but I think I could do it, if I just take my time and have the right tools.
