Well it's starting to go together. I clued everything back together and added a little interior structure to help stiffen up the outer box and help seal the interior better.



I have it wired for a future elect. hydro. The cedar is starting to go in....just placed in, in the pictures.

Wow, that is impressive looking. I had my wife looking over my shoulder and really liked the look of it. Guess it's time for me to start looking.

Some varnish and she is good to go.


Should have enough pace for a few boxes in there.


A little look at the top.


This is where the singles will go.

I am impressed. You are very talented man, and fast too!

If I started something like this, I would only be half as finished, and would never finish the project because I have a short attention span. :lookaroun

Well I managed to to build and install the hidden accessory drawer today...might as well use every bit of space available.

Now it's time to apply a couple coats of satin poly and then it's time to start conditioning the inside.

Well she's finished. Just going to season it for a few days. I'm going out to look for a small fan I can put inside to help season it.

The boxes are empty...just in there for looks.

For those who haven't caught onto these, they are great for your humidor to circulate air. They are battery powered(for those without a power source). They turn on for 5 minutes then off for 15. The air freshener are not preloaded, so you can save them our throw them out.

I have them blowing across the dishes of distilled water to help move the moisture around.
