Hi friends...I’m back for another humidor build, this time for a friend and fellow FOH’er @NicPac. Nick and I have been talking about this for some time now, and with the holidays behind us, I’m ready to get started. When I talked with Nick a few days ago and told him that the timing was good to get started, his reply was “Well, get to cuttin’ b*tch!” This build will be interesting for me because we are trying to incorporate a rustic look, while at the same time keeping true to its primary function as humidor (consistent temp and humidity). Those two ideas don’t necessarily go hand-in-hand! I don’t know how it’s all going to turn out. It might be spectacular, or it might be a spectacular failure. Either way, you’ll have a front row seat! Today was shop clean-up and a first-pass at a prototype. The design lines are starting to shape up in my mind, but the prototype is far from finalized, and not to scale. For those who enjoy this kind of stuff, thanks for following along. Questions and comments are always welcome. - Wheezy

So I have a few projects left on my honey-do list but I am in the planning/early development stage and I am looking for any and all input ya'all may have. Total free-thought time. I haven't chosen a size yet. It will be insulated. I priced out VIP insulation...not cost effective at all. Most likely Rigid Foam board. Design will be pretty damn similar to the one I saw here that had rosewood veneer and mahogany. You know, the one we all drool over. It's simple, clean and more modern. Still thinking that an armoire conversion might be the way to go. I would love to do a PigFish fully automated system. I will stick with veneer for the most part except for door trim and other areas. Solid wood is just too pricey unless I get a band saw ans re-saw my own lumber. Baltic Birch plywood (3/4-1/2") with 3/4" Spanish cedar lining. No glass doors. All wood. Looking forward to hearing your input!
