Needed more room for all the cigars I bought here so I made this simple box, and lined it with Spanish Cedar. Dimension are 20x14x36 with 6 side out shelfs.

For now I'm using 4 home made humidifiers out of plastic bar soap holders, 2 on top shelf and 2 on bottom. Drilled many holes in top and sides, fit florist foam inside, and charge them with 50/50 solutions of Polyglycol and Distilled water. Humidity is holding great right around 70% measured with a Wal-Mart digital meter. This is a temporary location in the spare bedroom that is kept cool so the heater does not run much.

I think that is pretty cool! What kind of wood is the case made of? Looks like a patchwork or a really interesting finish.

and the collage isn't bad either

The outside case is made of 1" thick Western Cedar boards glued up with Polyurethane Glue and Biscuits, and the inside is lined with 1/4" Spanish cedar.

It actually was that bad to build......On and off a 10days; total time about 16 hrs. Most of the time was waiting for glue to dry. In all honesty I still maintain it's a box with a door that is spanish cedar lined. I'll bet you can buy a damaged wall cabinet, add a top, shelves and have basically the same thing. Having a table saw to rip the boards and a router to put the trim on the edges helps. I will post another picture showing a better angle for the slide out shelves.

I'm just putter around with woodworking. I'll bet you can get most handy men to build you a box with a door on it and add some shelves or modify a kitchen wall cabinet.
