What a great idea. Looks like you have done a great job sealing it up,not to mention the choice smokes that line the shelves now

That looks like a dream! Nice job on the conversion, and a tasty selection of cigars you have in there as well.

I sealed the inside seams with resin and then I lined the opening edges with 1/4 inch weather stripping. I drilled a hole through the side of the cabinet for the oasis power cord and plugged the rest of the hole with Ticky Tack (wall putty). Humidor holds rH and stays relatively cool (depending on the ambient temperature).

What kind of resin did you use?...
weren't you worried about caustic fumes from the resin?
Is there just one (1) Oasis used?

You know, I've been kicking around the idea of getting one of those "attorney bookcases" the ones with the glass doors in front of each shelf, and converting it in a similar manner. I need to cruise the furniture consignment shops. Maybe that will be my summer project, in addition to the baby.

Looks great bro - how long did it take you to get everything finished?

Also - those Edge Sumatra's are pretty good, hugh?!

It was a pretty quick process - I was surprised. Once I aired out and cleaned out the cabinet (which I got at a garage sale for $40....Muwahahahah!) it took about an hour to seal the inside and overnight for the resin to set/dry completely.
Then I purchased some extra spanish cedar planks to line the back wall applied them with hot glue. The weather stripping was pretty straight forward and took about 2-3 hours to ensure an airtight seal.

And yea, out of all the edge's, the sumatra is my fav. Too bad they are discontinued...I guess I struck when the iron was hot!
