Building a humidor

There are two main reasons why I want to work with wood and they are: 1. I want it to look nice and 2. I want to get into woodworking more as a hobby and thought this might be a fun way to spend my summer

Sounds like the perfect reason not to use a cooler

I can't give you advice about the exterior wood, I have no wood working experience, however I would want to use spanish cedar on the inside.

Question answered Sorry I have no woodworking skills at all, but good luck But my buddy has woodworking skills and built me this. It is nice to have a nice looking humi. but I keep most of mine in the cooler.

I commend you on your ambition. But building a humidor is not the "cheap" way to go. You can get a decent humidor for $40-60 online, while building one will cost more just for materials. If you have access to good woodworking tools then at least that cost can be avoided. Recycling old boxes seems very impractical as you will have different thicknesses and sizes of wood. But good luck and please post pictures.

I think we understand that, it's just that it countermands your first statement about doing it "on the cheap".
You will find nothing cheap about doing it right in wood. I don't think, anyway. Make a nice Bird Feeder if
you want to get into woodworking more as a hobby. Then get a small cooler....Not a Swinger, though.
