Can anyone tell me how the spanish cedar is adhered in most humidors; glue, nails, nice tight fit?

Has anyone here built their own humidor? If you have please email me at

I am collecting information on humidor construction and with some help I am going to build one. Thanks for any help in advance.

Can someone post an answer to this here too?? I was wondering how the cedar is set in place myself. Thanks

I've built a few humidors. And I've restored and upated a bunch. I will sometimes use just a DAB of wood glue on the very top and bottom pieces just to keep them from shifting. It's important if you are using a lid mount humidifier too. I miter the corners on the body and lid side pieces and snug them in place. You want to be able to remove them if you need to make an adjustment. But they should not come out easy. For a good seal, I use an overlap joint between lid and body.
