Strada Posted February 14, 2013 Author Posted February 14, 2013 Nice work Simon; looks good! How many boxes were you able to stuff in there? Good question, I will count and let you know Phil! Thanks for all the good comments guys
BMF98 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 That's great! Very nice work indeed. Would enjoy taking on a project like that myself someday.
stargazer14 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Very nice! I also took an antique and made it a humidor. Something to admire and be proud of, and your friends think its cool too.
PigFish Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Project humidors are a part of the interest as far as I am concerned. They make a broader statement than a second band, and express and interest and commitment beyond that of writing a check. Bravo mate! Very stylish. For some of your projects may I recommend hot glue. It has no odor and solidifies almost instantly. It is not as strong as resin or epoxy glues but that is an advantage sometime. Give it a shot. -Piggy

Strada Posted February 14, 2013 Author Posted February 14, 2013 awesome work Simon!!!! Well done. When can I put my order in for one???? LOL Sorry I don't do Cohiba inlay lol
Strada Posted February 14, 2013 Author Posted February 14, 2013 Muy bien senor ! Gracias hermano, voy a verte el 9 de marzo para el Herf!
AndrewNR Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 You've stirred my project into life again. Which is to say I've been pacing the house and itching my head. I'm considering sealing it with a perhaps cm thick layer of Styrofoam then measuring it up and asking custom wineadors if they're interested in crafting me some panels i can stick inside the styro. It'll be a good excuse to beef up my humidification and what I use to check it.. Currently I have a puck humidifier in a cooler with like 15 boxes in it.. and a small display humidor with perhaps 8 boxes in it.. with a puck and a brick of florest foam.. only thing I have to check humidity is a dodgy humidity dial on the display humidor.. Anyone want to recommend a system or anything feel free

Have fun with it Andrew
Strada Posted February 16, 2013 Author Posted February 16, 2013 This is awesome Simon. Thanks Hans, JeanNick
Jnaube Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 My mother had the same kind of trunk. It's all lined with spanish cedar. You really gave me an awesome idea. When I sell the current house and I have more space, I may build myself one.
zmancbr Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Very nice work. I love seeing people and their humi projects. Some very creative ideas out there. I'm getting ready to retrofit an armoire cabinet with Spanish cedar and a set and forget system. I'll have to post pics as I go...
Smokntaz Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Nice project and very well done. Thanks for sharing.
nikesupremedunk Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Cool! When you said trunk, I first imagined a car trunk lol. I would love to make one of those with those louis vuitton trunks, but imagine all the cigars you can buy for that price!
AndrewNR Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Itching my head still. The interior of my chest is all awkward.. it has a rounded lid and it has braces in the middle of the chest as well. Think I'm just going to take some photos and ask Wineadors if they're interested in doing inserts and for advice. I really need to get motivated for peice of mind storing my precious cigars properly Then I need to get a decent himidifying system/read... then a lighter and cutter that aren't dodgy.
AndrewNR Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Here's a picture of what I've been going on about.. It isn't a great picture of it.. I just snapped it then to send off to the wineador guys. Should've seen it when I bought it, The mrs spent a bit of time restoring it to the stage its at now. Think its around 120yrs old.

That's an awesome looking chest Andrew !!! As for the the rounded top, I would not know how to line that part with cedar. There are a lot of woodworking forums around. Maybe post on one of those for advice. Keep me posted if you decide to go forward with these.
