Project Cabinet Humidor (Pic Heavy)

I then installed the door. Note that the cedar had to be chiselled out so that the full overlay door would sit flush over the opening

It was then all sanded and I started to apply the finish. Linseed oil was first

I had to stick to a strict schedule because I didn’t have much time. Only 2 weeks. So between my 6 coats of varnish that I put on after the stain I worked on the inside drawers and shelf.

We have wood.

And make Drawers. Note the difference in the pattern… That’s how you know that it is handmade

And then once the 6 coats of varnish were on (sanding in between each second coat) I installed the drawers

I made a simple shelf and then installed the glass with one inch thick Spanish cedar and covered the whole rim in weatherstripping for a good seal.

Not too bad for 2 weeks start to finish. I didn’t have time to sand this down as I took these pictures 4 hours before I had to be out the door for a flight back to school.

One last pic is the initial master plan

When I get back in May I am putting in dividers and humi beads. Needless to say I spent my cigar budget already!

I Hope you like it as much as I do.

Looks fantastic!

If you don't mind me asking, what was your total construction cost?
