[QUOTE=Partagaslover;182472]Hey Guys,

Nice! What kind of Humidor is that? Looks just right for me.
Very cool idea!
I'd do the same but my wife collects pottery and if I tried to convert one of her 3 (or is it 4.....) cabinets I'd wake up in a hospital with a cast iron frying pan imprint on my face!
I'm going to keep my eyes open for one to do this with if my collection grows any more (who am I kidding, that 's a "when" not an "if"....LOL) but something tells me I won't get away with converting it unless I do it all while she's not around. And even then, I'd get shit for doing so to a cabinet she could use.
How well does it seal and did you have to do something to it to make it seal?
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.

I have not bothered putting any seal on it. The door closes really tight. With 3 calibrated humidity gauges (bottom,middle and top shelf) it consistently maintains between 69-73 (bottom to top). I have the cabinet in my basement. The brother in law was throwing the cabinet out.
Here's a pic of my coffee table humidor. My wife got it for me for Christmas two years ago. I'm having a heck of a time keeping it filled though.
I think it's listed at 500. Haven't made it that far yet.
I like that. It's functional, and holds cigars too! My wife got me a 500 count two years back and I have the same issue.....imagine that! LOL
I looked at two of my wife's units. One is more expensive and more well made and might just seal nicely without having to do anything extra to it. The other less expensive and less well made one would require a whole lot of work to make it seal. I'm going to keep my eyes open for a cabinet that needs refinishing. If my wife doesn't want it, I may take a crack at restoring and converting it.

I'm still noobish at this. The first cigars I tried were Iguanas, but the humidor is roomy. I got some samplers coming in. I guess I need to get proper humidifying elements but I'm using distilled water for now.

Was that humidor once filled with Iguana's? If so, is there any residual stench from them? As for humidification, search for beads....imo, the only way to go for desktops like that.
Very nice, let's have a peek what's in those other drawers
