So like a lot of guys, I have faced the ever increasing need for storage. I have eye fucked the Avallo website for several years and while the DDD Plus is perfect, I just don't have the 5k to drop on storage, hence the reason I have a few $20 Tupperware storage containers. That said, my OCD would love nothing more to have all my Cigars in one place
I was in chat recently discussing the potential of rigging up a thermoelectric system to a regular cabinet and making it a DYI project. I am not overly inclined when it comes to carpentry but know a few people I could get to help and was told building the thermoelectric system would be pretty simple.
I was at home tonight I couldn't help but wonder if the answer wasn't right in front of me.
I've had this for 3 years and it has never had more than a pair of shoes in it and the thing is solid wood. My thoughts are to have the shelves and drawers all converted to Spanish cedar with the same fronts. A few modifications would be needed to allow for air circulation and then figuring out a humidification system for it. .
The only thing I am concerned with is whether or not I would have to line the interior walls of the cabinet or not if the "guts" we're all converted to Spanish cedar.
This is just me thinking out loud at this point, but I can't help but think this project would be a fraction of the cost of buying anything close. The bulk of the cost would be converting the shelves and drawers.
Just wondering if my thinking is far fetched or if this seems like a feasible project.
