Humidor Cabinet Retrofit Ideas

[mt1]

Hi everyone,

I'm entertaining the idea of building a humidor by retrofitting an interesting/cool container or cabinet of some sort.  Ideas that came to mind are things like airline food carts, or a grandfather clock, or a server rack.

Looking for ideas of furniture or other items like this that could be retrofitted into a humidor (i.e. lined with cedar and sealed up airtight).  I loved the airline food cart idea but it's probably a bit small for what I'm looking to store (damn you 24:24).  Any ideas?

I have Googled this before and scrolled through the images. A lot of interesting ones there.

How about a Cargo Tuk Tuk. Plenty of space.

I saw pics posted a long time ago by a guy who turned a stainless-steel refrigerator into a humidor by sealing it and lining with cedar. It was pretty cool and held lots of boxes.

I'm toying with this idea myself.  So far, I have narrowed it down to two candidates:

--  a self-assembly home sauna (the two-person version) but I have some concerns that the Western cedar might be unsuitable even if I line the interior with Spanish cedar;

--  and a piece of lab equipment: a temperature and humidity controlled cabinet used by laboratories to store samples and grow weird shit in petri dishes.  The deterrent here is the price of many thousands....

I also looked at antique furniture, having seen some very nice retrofitted examples in Europe.  They are insanely cheap right now ... nobody seems to want or appreciate a truly well-crafted piece of furniture with beautiful wood any more.  A linen press or armoire would offer oodles of space, and might even be good-looking enough to tick the WAF box...

I had the same idea last year and my journey was a blast. I converted a large wine refrigerator that I found on Craigslist. Here's my humidor build.
