Garage Sale Humidor Find

Sweet_Leaf_PDX · 10-20-2014, 07:22 PM

Found this at a garage sale over the weekend and was able to pick it up for $20. I looked around the webs and I think this humidor sells for about $90 from CI.

I picked up some food safe clear caulking and plan to run a bead of caulk around the glass pieces and around the hydrometer mounted in the door. I was also thinking about looking into some sort of weather stripping for the door. At the very least it will be a fun little project to see if I can get this thing to hold stable humidity.

Here is a pic:
