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?

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

jds78 · 04-13-2009, 07:17 PM

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.

Here is the walnut burl for the doors.

It should be finished in about two weeks.

BORIStheBLADE · 04-13-2009, 10:07 PM

Man this thing coming along nice.

kydsid · 04-14-2009, 07:44 AM

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

PeteSB75 · 04-14-2009, 11:30 AM

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?

O-Danger · 04-14-2009, 12:05 PM

Wonderful looking burl!!!

04-14-2009, 12:18 PM

Very impressive work...you are very talented!

marge796 · 04-14-2009, 01:18 PM

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

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.

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.
