I finally started working on my new Frigidor yesterday. I could just put some proper shelves in there and a humidification device and be done with it but simplicity is not in my nature. So I'll be lining it in solid spanish cedar, installing fans, cold cathode lights, new solid spanish cedar shelves, and wiring everything to one control center junction box.
So yesterday I got to work cutting the wood for the lining and shelves. Not wanting to waste wood and space I resawed the lining to 5/16" from 13/16 solid spanish cedar. I soon realized I should have worn a respirator, as the cedar is irritating and just plain tastes horrible. I had that taste in my mouth for the rest of the night.
Once done I put some slatted shelves together (2 upper and 1 bottom). They have to be scribed in place still as the interior of the Avanti is molded into a trapezoidal shape with the front of the unit wider than the back. The bottom shelf has a notch built in to receive one of the fans. I'll have one on the bottom and one on the top. I'm still not sure whether I'm going to have the same shelf in the top, or just mount the fan.
I also spliced some extra wire onto the cold cathode lights to get the wires out of the inside. The 12" lenght they come with wouldn't get me far.
Hopefully I'll have more to show tomorrow.
