A while back I posted pics of a computer drawing of a prototype that I planned to build... it was inspired by the Monte Cristo 75th Anniversary humidor....

I've been dabbling with it for about 6 months now.... I even had to start over once because what I thought would work.... didn't.... I've been waiting for an order of wood to come in.... and made some pretty good progress....

Well.... she's all dry fit now and ready to assemble... I have all the spanish cedar cut and dimensioned for a quick fit.... The lid in the picture needs some attention, but - that will be the easy part....

I have two of these going at the moment.... One is going to Canada to a member here, the other is open at the moment. The third picture has a coffee pot for scale.... this thing is huge! 27" x 13" x 19"..... She should be coming off the bench soon...

Here's the computer drawings....

Not sure.... the plan is to have 10 drawers - 11" x 8-3/4" x 2-1/2" interior dimensions.... so, that's 240.625 cubic inches of usable space, per drawer... and a Toro (6x50) cigar is 2.876 cubic inches.... so, with that being said... Each drawer should hold 84 Toros.... so, 840... That is if you wanted 10 drawers.... maybe you'd only want one side with drawers and the other side open for box storage.... It's wide open!

Plus...the drawer on the front can hold a cutter, lighter, bottle of scotch.... or whatever you might want.... And then, directly behind that is the humidification with an access door, just like the one on the front, for the humidification....

Holly Cow! that is amazing! How much for something like that. That is the next set after you build what every you are doing for me now.

Can you do something like that with temp control?

You are at the for front as always.

Speaking as a fellow woodworker I must say that your work is of very high quality. You possess a keen attention to detail and an eye for style.

03-21-2011, 08:02 PM

Did you use that old wood on the top?

That is huge and a great piece. I can not stop looking at it.

Not yet.... but it's going up there. It needs to be milled down and should look very much like the rest of the Walnut....

I'm glad you like her.... I'm making two!

I sure this will be a new request from you from many people on here.

WaxingMoon · 03-22-2011, 10:31 AM

OK... I can breathe again.... a little something different. It's always a little harrowing putting sharp steel to wood.... especially when the tolerance is a hair under 1/16".... lol

Waiting for the lid to come back from the engraver in Atlanta.... sand her down a bit more mount the hardware... and she'll be done.
