Good work on that one. Oddly, I have an armoire (unused right now) that looks EXACTLY like yours. Oh man, I hope you did not just inspire me to do something... :blush:

cibao,

Nice job! Good looking unit. Questions...

1. What kind of temp / humidification system are you using?

2. Does the fan at the rear of the cabinet draw outside air? ( I see it's through and through)


Cheers...

Look man. You have 12 posts since Oct 1 2006. I think you need to cool it down a bit. :laugh:

Beyond that, very nice setup. What impresses me the most is the amount of wood you are using.

Is that a refrigeration / temp controlled unit?

I ask, because I am looking to built an Armoirdor in the near future.
I'm thinking I will need some kind of cooling system because of the warm
temps here in SoCal.

Thanks,

Thanks for all the kind words :D
the only thing im not capable of building was the cabinet it self it takes a lot of tools i don't have and craftsmanship , the inside was easy by looking at other cabinet humidors pictures on this site and others..
