Nice….Glad to see someone doing it right with heartfelt beads and a digital hygro! thumbs up

Did you finish the spanish cedar? it almost looks like it in the picture….

Also, in order to get a good seal to “hold humidity” you need to have a positive seal. Usually you would run the SC lining higher than the side walls of the box, up into the lid. That way, when you close the lid, there’s a tight seal. It’s kinda hard to tell from the pics but the SC looks flush to the side walls of the box.

Nice job as mentioned by Eric above the seal is important I used a small piece of weather stripping on mine and it works like a charm.

childress, you are absolutely right about the interior lining. I had a miscalculation with the sides, which I had intended to stand proud of the exterior. I was planning on going the route that Ken90712 mentioned actually, as a remedy, so I am glad to hear that it has worked well for someone else.

Very cool. Recently smoked a ‘good’ cigar. Decided to build one of these myself. This looks very nice. As mine will be for me, it will not be as nice as this.

I have to confess…when I read the title of this post all I could think was “holy cow…I’ve got a lot to learn…why would you need a humidor for hand tools.”

Needless to say, I felt a little sheepish after looking at the pics. Nice looking humidor. I’ve been meaning to build one for my bro. This has inspired me to start (planning it at least).

Cheers!
