This is a humidor made from Spanish cedar with a wenge inlay in the corners that I made for a friend. The construction is basically a box within a box. This allows the inside of the box to maintain a relative humidity of around 70% while inside a room with a much lower humidity without warping and splitting.
You can find more details in the full article on my website: www.ycmt2.com/humidor
Inspired by the plans and detailed article available at: www.finewoodworking.com/FWNPD...

As a heads up, you NEVER want to spray paint, lacquer or any sort of finish on the spanish cedar on the inside of a humidor for 2 reasons. 1. The spanish cedar will be humidified from 60-72% depending on the preference of the enthusiast, so you do not need to worry about warp or damage. 2. Having spanish cedar that is raw is crucial to the humidor. It helps with aging, adds flavor, and most importantly holds humidity to help stabilize and maintain the humidors RH levels. If you spray lacquer or any paint you now have removed all the properties of the spanish cedar, meaning there is no point of using spanish cedar, and for the enthusiast they would be better off using a tupperwear container for the lack of paint that can transmit flavors to their cigars. Beautiful box. Don't paint the cedar, and its perfect!

I goofed on that part of the video and many other folks think I did the same thing. I only lacquer the shell. The interior liner “box in a box” is completely raw

I would cut the box using the table saw and the gate. I have found that using the bandsaw to split boxes causes more variances because of the flex in the blade. Definitely less of an issue the thicker the bandsaw blade.
@YouCanMakeThisToo
@YouCanMakeThisToo 7 лет назад
I considered that but I wanted to minimize the size of the kerf and the bandsaw blade is significantly thinner than my table saw blades. Because the blade is mostly cutting air, drift and deflection weren't really an issue.

Beautiful man. Makes me want to get back into woodworking after a few decades off. Plus as a cigar lover, I could always use more storage. Only thing that bugs me about most humidors is that they almost all have analog hygrometers on display on the outside. They look elegant, but they're pretty unreliable.

Another benefit of Spanish Cedar is that it doesn't have any strong odors or aroma and thus will not impart any foreign smells or tastes into your cigars. (You wouldn't want your cigars smelling and tasting like pine for example.)

+Sean Foushee thanks! I did. I had a short clip of beveling the top so the lid opens easy. They weren't mitered together, it was just a friction fit. But I did bevel the corners that went against the inside corners of the box.. hope that makes sense. The reason was I could get all the glue squeeze out, so the bevel helped everything still sit flat.

If you know someone with a laser engraver, or can buy some time on one at a local MakerSpace a nice laser etched design would give it some extra interest or add some personal touches (Family Crest, Initials, special date, etc). Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful the way it is. You could also make pistol gift boxes for people who are into gifting personalized guns. This won't require the "box within a box".

@YouCanMakeThisToo
@YouCanMakeThisToo 2 года назад
1. I don't think it would last near as long or as well. The double box is key for humidity management. 2. Just a few board feet 3. Could be done in a weekend or two, just depends on the shop and how detailed you wanna be with it

Great looking box! Quick question, as I’m just starting my research into humidors… Why use plywood for the top and bottom? I see a lot of these are made out of completely veneered plywood, but I personally can’t stand plywood. Was wondering if there is a practical purpose or if it’s just cheaper to be able to make

This is an awesome project. I have been looking to build a humidor for a while.

But, wouldn't a router serve the same purpose for making a rabbit or a groove? Thanks!

I’m building a couple of humidors for Christmas gifts(never attempted before). I was going to make the outer box out of 3/4 inch wenge or zebra wood, maybe both, with a 1/4 inch Spanish cedar inlay. My current factory bought humidor is only 1/2 inch thick of just Spanish cedar. Is 3/4 inch plus the inlay going to be too robust for a desktop humidor?
@YouCanMakeThisToo
@YouCanMakeThisToo 5 лет назад
I wouldn’t go with 3/4 just because it won’t have the right proportions. Also, even with the inner liner there’s still a moisture disparity between the inside and outside environment. Spanish cedar handles it the best so I’d recommend it. I would build it all with Spanish cedar and veneer what you want the show wood to be. It’ll be more stable and probably less expensive.

Hello, interestingcproject simply and beauty. pal i have two question. 1- Why did not you did the bottom and the upper part full of cedar instead use plywood? 2- why humidor are made of cedar? i think that is only a wood box, but i guess that im unknowing some importa fact, because i dont think that is a coincidence that every body make them in cedar thanks for video, i learned some tricks
@YouCanMakeThisToo
@YouCanMakeThisToo 5 лет назад
Plywood has to do with wood movement. The plywood doesn’t move so it simplified construction. Spanish cedar is the most common pick for humidity because of how it handles moisture. You need a humidor to stay 70% humidity inside all the time. The difference between the inside and outside humidity would warp most woods, but Spanish cedar handles it much better.

What sized hole did you drill vs the size of hygrometer. I want to install one externally and not really sure where to start.

I don't remember, I just measured the base of it.

Very nice, how much did you spend on the inside and outside box for the cedar?
@YouCanMakeThisToo
@YouCanMakeThisToo 7 лет назад
+markman63 I think it was $30-40 for the wood.

How did you drill for the hydrometer so that it took the internal temp?

@YouCanMakeThisToo 10 месяцев назад
The sensor is on the back, so made sure it could poke through to get the humidity level

+Z Zaddari thanks. They're doing great. Off camera I put a humidification pack in it and it keeps it at constant 70%

Hey, sorry for the late comment but I am looking into making a humidor and had a couple questions. You had mentioned that it was a box inside of a box. Of course I would make the inside of Spanish cedar but was wandering if I could use another type of wood for the outside? If so what type of wood would you recommend?
@YouCanMakeThisToo
@YouCanMakeThisToo 4 года назад
I’d recommend sticking with Spanish cedar. I’ve read sapelle is good to. If you want a different look then veneer it. Hope that helps!

Make the box then cut out for inlays on a table router. Start with the verticals. Glue in the inlays then route the horizontal. And finish off with a small round over bit. The joints will be perfectly tight. Also. Finish box before cutting off the lid. Keeps the inside cleaner.

Those are great tips, thanks! I don't have a router table, but I definitely like that order of operation for the inlay. Would work really well.

What kind of FTG Blade did you use and did it work well? I've been trying to avoid buying an expensive one online and finding one in one of the big box stores but the blades never say specifically the grind on them in store.

+Thomas McNally I have a Freud industrial 24tooth rip blade.

I have had very good results using this same blade in my table saw. So much so I bought a 12 inch for my compound miter saw. Also a note is I haven't had any of the paint from the blade transfer to my projects either like some other manufacturers. It's not a super expensive blade either. It's about upper middle on cost so I never tried the more expensive blades since it was so much nicer. Now if they'd make a similar quality bandsaw blade...lol

+Billy Beane haha right? I have 3 Freud industrial blades and I love them all. Want one for my miter saw too but just haven’t taken the plunge yet.

Any reason you used plywood with 1/8” cedar veneer, rather than just using 100% cedar? More wood stability in the plywood to reduce expansion down the road?
@YouCanMakeThisToo
@YouCanMakeThisToo 3 года назад
That's exactly why, plywood is more stable.

What hand plane did you use to even out the top/bottom of the box around the 2:50 mark?
@YouCanMakeThisToo
@YouCanMakeThisToo 6 лет назад
It’s a veritas low angle block plane.

Thank you! How thick are the wood panels for the outside structure, and the Spanish cedar interior panels as well?

I think 5/8s and 1/8.
