donzz, The Verona is probably not a good candidate for conversion to temp control. It's fairly shallow in depth & insulation is not easily added to the interior & still look good. It takes 6-8 times as much cooling output to get the same temperature drop in an non insulated cabinet as one that...

Gianni, The biggest issue you may have humidifying your cabinet, may be getting sufficient moisture to the top of the humidor, without overhumidifying the bottom shelves. A generous space behind the shelves (2"+ or "corner" cut out air channels is helpful in giving the airflow an unobstructed...

"Humidor Minister's cabinets are not tested though I do believe he is using the cooling and humidification systems from Bob (aristrocrat). " I was approached by Bill-Humidor Minister to provide humidification & cooling systems, but declined. I did seriously consider providing one, but my...

Handypilot, It looks like you have an interesting concept with the pvc pipe. I will be interested to see how that & the control connected to the web work out. The capacity has been built into my new control to connect to a computer & the web, but I haven't fully explored that potential yet...

I would guess you have two problems with the set up. One is not enough cooling capacity & the other is no insulation. When I first tested designs for temp controlled humidors I found that it takes 6-8 times the cooling energy (BTU's) to get the same temperaure drop in a cabinet with no...

We go to some lengths to assure as perfect a match between door & foam as possible which gives a very tight seal, but one that is not "airtight". Some air exchange is desired. That prevents a build up of ammonia or any unpleasant aromas, & also keeps the fans turning on periodically to keep...

Seadub, I will take the heat for being late on original delivery. We had some employee issues that are now well on their way to being resolved & humidors are going out more on schedule. RE your ordeal: I reviewed my emails to/from you regarding return of the humidor. I authorized pickup of...

Thanks for posting the pics. Kind of fun to see one of my babies still looking good after all these years.....Hope I age as gracefully...lol NOT. That was one of the few Aristocrat End Tables that had the Western Digital Hygro custom fit into the drawer face. Cheers, Bob Staebell

I have always liked the topic of veneers/MDF vs solid wood. It's an opportunity to dispell some old myths about which is "better". I get asked this question with some frequency & my answer is always "It depends"....on what is being built, where in the construct it is & what specie of wood is...
