excellent site. i guess i am more handsome than handy. dado and rabbets and grooves, oh my!

You can always forget the joinery and grab the duct tape.

Thanks for the reference. Nice article, and my admiration to those of you that are this handy. I was thinking of making my own, giant humidor. LMAO about using duct tape. Now I understand why the better ones are expensive. This article reminds me once again that I am not that handy and I how much golf I can play in the time it would take mess up a lot of good materials.

The easiest thing to do, for the non-handy men, is to buy a upper kitchen cabinet and line it with Spanish Cedar or Mahogany. You can find them on clearance at many stores. Mistakes from installers etc. Very easy to do and makes an attractive wall-hung humidor.

With some extras -- a latch that wedges the door close, odorless adhesive to attached the cedar and Credo -- those cabinets are a great idea and a notch above an igloodor. Thanks for the idea.

You don't really need to latch the door closed. I found a little air circulation is good and easier to maintain a consistant humidity.

Sounds like you've built one of these. What did you need besides the cedar (which I hear is available from Rockler)?

No, I haven't built one, but I did convert an old armoire. Basically the same steps of lining an inside of a cabinet. Works great. Send me an email if you want more specifics and pics, don't want to bore everyone.

Duh....give me your email address or here's mine [email protected].

I am loading a picture in the "picture post" section.

Thanks. Home Depot, here I come.

Bud:

Beautiful work. That's not a converted contractor kitchen cabinet. That's nearly a work or art. Thanks for posting the photo. It gives me something to shoot for. I've seen photos of homemade humidors on other sites. I'll post them as I come across them.

Thanks, no problem. The refinishing of the outside took the longest(it was painted black!). The inside was fun and easy.

Bud:

Is that your shop in the background?

mhollowa: credo? make your own, cheaper and better than that overpriced toy humidifier.

Rick, I made several humidifiers following the suggestions on cigarnexus.com (thanks again for the post) and bought the PG ($10 pint undiluted) and Oasis very inexpensively. Do you have any other suggestions/improvements over what is suggested at cigarnexus.com? [email protected]

Yea, it's pretty small.
