Building a Cigar cabinet - Mid Century Modern - DIY 

Very much appreciate your comment. Being a neurological surgeon I'm sure your precisions are above mine :)

Thank you

Thank you... Another video coming soon

Thank you

allen juston I really appreciate your comment

Thank you

Lol right? "DIY" but only if you have $50k of fancy tools in your garage.

Thanks, Craig for your comment. I do have a smaller one in the works. Video coming soon

Combining my favorite things to do :)

Pontus Åkesson I like seeing his little girl checking out what dad was doing

Kevin Schwy very much agree :)

I read that last message. just making sure I understand you correctly I'm having an issue with one of my pieces not sealing adequately enough. I was going to try and inlay a small seal around the door or should I cut it into the door stops themselves? and what should I be using for a gasket and how big? Sorry man for all the questions but you got the answers lol Mikka thank you again !!

Moving my shop at the moment but once back up I'll post more. Thanks for watching

EATSHITFUKRS I build these to order. Pls look at my website and email me if you want more information. Thx

Doing that next weekend :)

Absolutely! How’d it work out?

Glad you enjoyed it

I do get a lot of shit for that but my response is always the same "don't let the tools you don't have get in the way of building stuff​" :)

Ryobi though man. jeez throw it away.

If you email me at olssonmikka @ gmail.com I will share everything I have

It is placed in the bottom. I use an Oasis plus which works well.

It is. It important to keep air flowing at all time

TB2 is just fine. I have a build video I can share if you email me. the email is on the website Mikkaolsson.com

Around $500

It is with a silicone rubber bulb seal recessed in the door stop. It continues all around for a 100% seal. You can see more detailed pictures on www.mikkaolsson.com/new-gallery/ . I never logged my time but probably around 40 hours. Glad you enjoyed

Impressive. Thanks for sharing!

I don't have room :(

I put a light upward pressure on the rear of the board entering and the same when they come out. So I don’t have much issue with a snipe

@@mikkaolsson434 appreciate the tip!

Jeff Dingman. I do but I only have one available right now and that's the one in the video.

Nada Robot I used 3/8 tempered glass and did the sand blasting of the edges in the shop. I use a glass/metal epoxy

nice, thank you.

Please email me at mikka.olsson@ebbex.com and I can give you the details

I, unfortunately, don't have any plans.

Agree

Kevin Schwy you can see more details here www.mikkaolsson.com/new-gallery/ it's a recessed rubber seal

They perform great. I have built a total of 7 and couple of my friends has them. They hold humidity very well. The main reason for that is there is no break in the seal for the door

Again, you're very talented. If you sell these, please PM me.

Hello, thats a wonderful masterpiece. I'd like go buy one! Could you please contact me to talk about the rest?

MT, please email me at olssonmikka@gmail.com and drop me your number, then we can discuss one of these for you. Thank you

Mikka Olsson Do you use any weatherstripping at the door ledge, or do you just rely on the friction fit between the door and the cedar stops to keep humidity inside the humidor?

It’s not an issue at all. Condensation forms when there is a high difference in temperature on each side of the glass and higher humidity exist on one side.

You will want to use solid Spanish cedar on the inside as much as you can. Also keep in mind aromatic cedar is not the same as Spanish and can’t be used. Sealing a crack with a silicone is not an issue. Over time as silicone hardens it stops giving off any gases

If you tell me the interior cubic feet of the clock I can recommend a humidification unit

@@mikkaolsson434 Thank you very much for all the information. When I get to the shop I will measure the inside of the clock. It's not very big and the customer already purchased a unit for me to install but I have all that in my shop and can't remember the type or brand off-hand but once I get that info I'll let you know and maybe you can tell me if it's any good or not. He also has some small digital hygrometers that he wants to be installed as well but I assume those will be ok. Thank you for mentioning the aromatic cedar. I didn't realize it was so bad to use. I know Spanish cedar is the industry standard from what I've seen in order to make humidors but I only have a few board feet of the aromatic as well as some 4x4's of western red cedar that I was going to use for the internal framework to be able to attach the removable shelves that I'm building for it but if you say that it's not good to use then what do you think of Honduran mahogany? I've heard a few other people say in some videos that I've watched that mahogany can be used as an alternative to the Spanish cedar but what do you think? I have a few 12in by 6ft slabs of some 8/4 Honduran mahogany but other than that, if you think the cedar I have is no good then ill have to see if I can find some Spanish at my hardwood dealer. Was hoping not to have to buy any wood for this project to keep my costs down but I also want to build the best cabinet possible. Thanks again for the info and again I'll get back to you with the cubic feet as well as the brand of humidifier that I received. ok, talk to you soon.

@@mikkaolsson434 Oh one other thing, What can I use around the frame of the door to give a good airtight seal. Will just any weather stripping work or do they make some special thin gasket or something. The door and its hinges and the way it closes onto the face frame of the clock is a pretty tight tolerance and I'm afraid any old weather strip will cause the door not to close all way which will obviously defeat its purpose. What would you suggest I use?

saiful alom please send me an email at olssonmikka@gmail.com and I’ll share details. Thank you

I don’t have finished plans but I’ll share anything with you that can help you build one

I dont know anything about a humidor. A coworker asked me to build him one. Is the Cedar veneer enough or would it be better to build it solid cedar with a hardwood veneer? Also did you seal the glass?

Please email me at mikka.olsson@ebbex.com and I can give you the details

I do. You can find my contact info on my website mikkaolsson.com. Thank you

MT, please email me at olssonmikka @ gmail.com and let's see how we can make it happen. thx

The standard cabinet is H36xW22.5xD11.5. Feet adds 10" to the height. The inside dimensions are H33.5xW20xD10. The dimensions between the shelves are 5". It will hold about 600 cigars.

They have been selling for $3500

I love it it looks so cool

Thanks. I do and have built several

Umm lets see hater....DIY. I'm pretty sure he did it himself.

buying the materials, then measuring, cutting, routing, dry assembling, connecting, prepping, finish coating and completing and final assembling it by yourself, regardless of using manual hand tools or using power tools and other equipment to have the best possible result, is still DIY because he done it himself.

@@WillieDines1 That's all fine and dandy and I applaud him for it. But alas, DIY means a little more than literal interpretation of the three words. It means something just about anyone can do with little to no special knowledge and/or tools. A carpenter with carpenter tools building a chicken coop for example is not DIY, even if he does it himself. Do you understand?

@@QualeQualeson wrong, DIY is abbreviation fkr "Do It Yourself" and that is already self explanitory.

@@WillieDines1 Nope. I'm sorry but you can't look at the words alone and think you know what it means. DIY means something you can make or do yourself that is normally made or done by professionals. If you're a professional or if you have access to special knowledge and/or tools, it's not DIY. If you think about it, your interpretation makes no sense. It would mean that say a gunsmith made a gun himself, it would be a DIY.

Thank you. The site is mikkaolsson.com. Since this is a hobby I don't make many but they have all sold except this one which I just finished.
