I'm really not sure. I've heard the Accumonitor system does a pretty good job of raising the humidity fairly quickly. I would guess 2-5 days?

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

I can't wait to see the finished cabinet. This thing is awesome.

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

Finally, an update on the cabinet project. It has taken longer and cost more than originally planned but I’m really happy with the quality of work. I moved about a month ago so I’ve been extra busy and haven’t been on CA much lately. Anyway, I’m finally getting settled in the new place and wanted to post some new pictures.

Here are the shelves. Notice the concealed hardware on the slides, I thought that was a nice touch.

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

That project is looking amazing, the finished product is going to be amazing :tu

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

Man this thing coming along nice.:tu

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

Can't wait to see the finished product. I have been looking at cooled humidors recently and yours looks very nice.

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

It does look very nice. Once it's done, can you put up some numbers on what your final cost was for materials and aproximate time?

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

Wonderful looking burl!!!

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

Very impressive work...you are very talented!

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

Very nice piece of work, you're a skilled artisan.

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

Thanks for all the kind words. I wish I could take some credit for the work but it’s actually my wife’s brother that is building the cabinet for me.

The materials so far are around $5500-6000 Canadian including shipping, duties, etc. My best guess in US dollars for someone in the States would be around $4500. The labor is what really gets expensive for a custom project like this. Total hours so far including design are around 350-400. I can give you some better numbers once it’s complete.

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

That's quite an investment. Even if you figure it at an hourly rate of $50, which is low for custom cabinet work like this, you are looking at almost $20,000 in total cost. This is a beautiful piece, I hope you are planning to pass it down to your kids/grandkids/great grandkids. Definitely an heirloom.

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

That thing just keeps getting better and better. Beautiful bro. Just beautiful.

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

WOW nice work, keep posting the great pics.

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

Absolutely stunning!

This is BY FAR the most beautiful custom humidor I've seen yet!

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

suddenly my factory humidor seems so insufficient. You truly have a "one of a kind".

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

So, this finished?

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

Very close. After 6 months of waiting it should finally be finished this week. It has to go in a year-end show that the school puts on so I won't have it in my possession for a few more weeks.

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

Looking forward to TONS of pics!:tu

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

Looking forward to the finished pictures. Thanks for keeping us updated along the way.

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

:tpd: Can't wait to see it full.

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

Pics, man! Pics!

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

The cabinet is finally finished! It was actually finished a few weeks ago but I just saw it for the first time this weekend. It's been 9 months since we stared design, and it has been stressful and frustrating at times, but I couldn't be happier with the results. It's definitely a one of a kind piece that will be in the family for generations.

I'm not an expert at any of this stuff but if anyone is thinking of doing their own project I'd be happy to answer any questions or at least tell you what worked and what didn't work.

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

All I can say is WOW! It even impressed my wife, You got the highest rating she can give, she said she would allow one like that in the living room! I agree a stunning piece of art.

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

That is one sweeet looking cabinet! Well thought out, no mickey mouse wiring, all boxed electronics, undermount slides, custom pulls, etc. I haven't seen a pro humi with this much detail. Nice job!

Re: Cooled Cabinet Humidor Project
 

That looks phenomenal..... flat out amazing.

I hope to G*d you took your brother in law out for a beer :D (that was who crafted it right?)
