Humidor specs
Hey gang,
So I have plans to build convert a 6-bottle wooden wine case into a humidor... I have looked around at some designs and tips but based on the pics you guys are posting I think I may need thicker Spanish cedar for the lining. Some people online suggest 1/4" but this seems very thin, and certainly thinner than the shelves/trays some of you have. I have found some 1/4", but not enough (have to wait for next shipment). But if I was to buy some 2" boards, what thickness should they split into? 1/2"? 3/8"? Pretty sure I have access to a band saw. Also, how to build the trays? Glue? Wood seems too thin to nail/screw. I have decided to not do a hygrometer that is visible from the outside, for convenience and so that I don't need to worry about it breaking and not being easy to replace. Thanks in advance for any ideas. |

1/4" is fine for lining. Its not like its structural. The shelves in my VInotemp are also made of 1/4"x4". Cigars are quite light. You can build trays if you want but with a humidor that small they take up space. You can just use leftover boxes but that's up to you.

Re: Humidor specs
How big is a 6 bottle wine case? I wouldn't think it's that big to be concerned with airflow. I have 2, 120qt coolers with all my stuff in them. I leave everything boxed and don't have any issues.
