Well I finally got the new humidor in. It needs some work lol, but I knew for the price I was paying it was basically a DYI project
So here is what I am starting with:
Comes with this cool name plate
This stuff needed to go in there
So now it lights up
And "There she blows"
The seal on the door is absolute crap. I will take it to work on Monday and fix that. I make machines that do this for a living so I think we can fix that leaky door lol

At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...
Thanks
I like the style too, it would fail miserably though if a person did not fix the seal on the door. I think simple weather stripping would work. But when do you get to match up your job with your hobby? lol. plus no seams in the gasket

Here is the gap I was referring to with the door. You can see how much light is coming through the door. So pretty much this would have been a very small china hutch if I did not fix this.
Here is the door with the new gasket:
That fixed it . But I do need to add a couple of new clasps on the other side of the door, the gasket was a bit high and the door won't latch. I don't think it will be hard to fix. Should have it done tonight and then I can put all those Bovedas in there and get it seasoned.

So all done except for the hard part... Waiting two weeks before I can use it
The new clasps worked great
So she's loaded and on it's way to actually being useful
Wasn't really sure where the best place to put the Hygrometer was. I settled for the middle The analog one that came with it has been on 60 every since I got it. Out in the garage down in the basement... I have my doubts it's working lol. anyhow this one is.

BTW, @NorthsideSmoke, that's one sweet looking humidor.
