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.
