Ebay Cigar Cabinet

Sounds like a good price. It does have a rather bland look though.

So I just got off the phone with Greg. He makes these each by hand in his shop near my house. He definitely describes them as being utilitarian and appears to be still experimenting with the seal. I plan on meeting with him tomorrow to check them out in person and snap some pictures.

Some tests and observations I planned to do:

1. Flashlight test - observe the amount and location of light emitting from the cabinet
2. Material - Verify the type and thickness of the material being used
3. Fit and finish - The aesthetics of the cabinet. Would I put this in the middle of a room or hide it in the garage.

Anything I am missing?

Thanks,

Easy way to make a better seal is the make the cedar like a 1/4 longer where the door opens and router a slot in the door so it slips in. If he is building these already I'm sure he could do that easy. It would make a much better seal than that foam and only a few more cuts with a jig setup

Try the dollar test for the seal.

Funny you mention this. I brought up the same idea to him on the phone, I referenced how safes are made. I will talk to him again about it tomorrow.

So if you live in Snohomish, where does this guy live? Because I am up in Vancouver Canada. It is not that far of a drive if his products are good.

Monroe, WA. Unless you drive a hybrid, you will spend the shipping in gas. You can google maps to my address, its 10 more miles from me. My address is in my profile.
