Popular Post etout00 Posted March 17 Popular Post Share Posted March 17 As I’ve mentioned in my intro, I’m also into hobby woodworking. I set out to build myself a desktop humidor to store some CCs at easy reach. The overall box is made of solid Mahogany, solid Spanish cedar lining and tray construction with African Bubinga outer accents. Finished in a hard oil/wax coating for a nice matte finish. This being my absolute first humidor build…I’ll gladly take criticism and suggestions. So far, after 3 months, it’s been holding steady around 63-65% with about 50 sticks inside (Boveda 69% packets) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popof4 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Wow that is pretty amazing work. Nothing to constructively criticize, not only because I'm not an expert, but that is a brilliant looking piece. It's obvious you're a person of detail. Do you plan to make more for yourself? For sale? I love the romanticism of desktop humis even though not cost effective for a larger collection essentially. I'd opt for few humongous wooden humis for my boxes if it was feasible and affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ha_banos Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Beautiful. I'd love to retire with a workshop, some tools, a bunch of wood and some skills. But alas I'm not a practical man at all. Never been good with hardware. Would love to see some of the construction phase next time though! How dare you deprive us! That's my only criticism.

Perhaps I’ll make another…I might have some more pics from the construction of this one though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd opt for few humongous wooden humis for my boxes if it was feasible and affordable. I was playing around with the idea of making some to sell perhaps…but honestly I put so many hrs into building this one for myself, to sell it I’d be the equivalent of paying myself around $10/hr…lol. I must admit though…the aroma of the solid Spanish cedar when opening the lid is unlike any store bought humidor I’ve ever experienced. I have a NewAir 1500 humidor and only built this desktop one as an experiment. I’m still closely monitoring the humidity control and will make improvements if needed on the next one I build. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
