Just finished my first ammo can humidor! Only a few hours of work and I think she turned out alright. And only now do I realize that the best way to ship a friend a 'bomb'...is in an ammo can lol.
My .50 cal smoke home!

nice work. Looks Great :thumbsup:
I forgot to get a shot of it, but I also mounted an analog hygrometer on the side. I'll get the specs for sizing up soon.
You guys have been making some very cool ammodors lately.. very nice TC!
wish I had the wood working skills and the patience to do something like that..... not that I really need any more projects or time consumers... but I think its really neat what you guys have been doing and how your projects have been turning out..

That thing is sick!!! I have seen a few of those and need to get on a project like that. Any special treatment to the can before adding the wood to remove any unpleasant smells, etc?
Thanks Mdwest, it's nice to hear positive feed back from all the brothers. And brewin', I simply gave the can a soap and water rinse, let it air out for a day, washed it again, aired it out and then added the cedar and distilled water. Once I add the cigars it will have been a week. The thing smells great though lol, that's all I have to go on so far.
Yeah mine would come out looking like an ashtray lol

Yours and mine both. But not even the cool, made by a child ashtray, more like the "were you dropped on you head as a child?" type. The kind your own mother would hide in a closet. The kind where people ask if you bought that ashtray to help out a homeless man.
Yeah, okay, I think you understand how bad...
I followed the directions on the official ammo can website. Wiped it down with vinegar post soap cleaning and let it rest with a box of baking powder for a week or so. Pretty detailed build with pics in the tread I started..
You can buy brand new cans wholesale from the net to keep costs down, but I wanted the cool stenceling and beat up look for mine.
Great looking ammo can TC!

Nice! I need to convert one of mine now!
