So left drawers in alone overnight, still reading 79-80% in there, so added in my (mostly) dry beads today. Just one tube a shelf. Will probably add another when I get around to it. Hopefully that will help bring it down to an acceptable range. Will also toss in my 62 Bovedas as the RH drops, to help it finally settle in before I start adding the cigars.

This will give me a fantastic opportunity to sort through my stash :devilgrin:

Great work Sean !
8 drawers - that thing is a monster, but you know it's still not big enough, right ?

So now the first 3 on each drawer only extend on the left, not the right where the door is hinged. The door only needs to be opened 90 degrees now to allow the drawer to come out, and it stops once it reaches the 4th slat, which extends on both sides. Pretty nice, the design is simple and suits me.

So you put the slats on the narrow edge to rip them down thinner? Isn't that kind of a dangerous cut?

Not sure if the ones in the picture are fully cut (just re-checked based on table saw measurements in the photo, and those are the finished slats, they weren't ripped any thinner than that), but we cut 1 in thick slats twice, into 3 equal thicknesses, a little over 1/4 inch, as the saw cuts off some. Watched a few videos on ripping wood, some guys are amazing at it, can get long boards incredibly thin. These are as long as I ripped, and we had a "wood pusher", a long wooden block with a notch to fit onto the wood you're sliding through, and a long handle - to keep my body far far away from the blade. Having someone on the other side to receive it made the whole job easier, along with our pusher.

Here's one of the videos we found, lol, those pieces look super-thin

So I took my first shot at "reorganizing", fitting all the stuff from the old setup (and the overflow) into the new setup....

Not successful. The debate now is to re-re-organize it and make more fit... or time to sell off some stock.

In the end, I was really surprised at my breakdown of cigars. Had a bit more of some than I expected, fewer than expected of others.

Two wine coolers seems like too much though. And I would want them to be identical, so it still wouldn't allow much room for boxes (although I DID dedicate a shelf on this one to Tatuaje Boxes... another way I can make a BIT more room. Maybe fit my lanceros...), which is probably what I need more of.
