UPDATE:

We may have encountered a problem. Something that Mr. Delorme and I have overlooked.

Moving this cabinet from the shop to my home may be more difficult than we originally anticipated.

Problem

For whatever reason, he always remains close to the cabinet. Laying down beside it.

Not sure how he will react once delivery time comes.

Looks like your own personal security system for the cigars you'll be storing in the humidor!
Feed him well

Forgive me if you've already been asked this question...But will you still need to season the humidor.and if so, how long before you can start to fill it up..?..
Fantastic job btw...!!

The seasoning process is quite simple.

Once the active system is turned on, it should take approximately a week before cigars can be properly stored inside the cabinet.

A bowl or two of distilled water can also be added inside the cabinet in order to facilitate this process.

Slow and steady is key.

That all looks very impressive,can't wait to see the finished product.

Congrats, it's coming up beautiful.

UPDATE:

This is a beautiful project! Thank you for sharing its evolution with us friend. The right tools in the right hands can truly create wonderful things. This humidor will be awesome! If envy is a sin, then by god, I am a sinner...

It is my pleasure gentlemen.

Needless to say, all your wonderful comments are also well appreciated on my part.

Surely Mr. Delorme feels the same way.

UPDATE:

Base Moulding 2

The bottom moulding has been assembled and a pre-stain conditioner has been applied to the wood.

Base Moulding 3

The stain has been applied and the moulding is now ready to be mounted onto the cabinet.

UPDATE:

Base Moulding 4

Crown Moulding 13

A coat of satin finish has been applied to both mouldings.

Crown Moulding 12

As you can see, the difference between the two steps. With and without the satin finish.

Boss, this is truly a work of art. Someone without a fondness for cigars such as ourselves would appreciate the craftsmanship of this unit based purely on your woodworking skills. Keep it up. I can't wait to see it finished and loaded with cigars.

You got enough sticks to fill this hog up?

Not my skills my fellow brother. Mr. Delorme is the craftsman.

Frankly, I think this cabinet will be fully stacked.
