I’m starting to plan out a couple of options for a cabinet humidor to round out my man room. There are a couple of routes that I can take. First, I could buy one from one of the internet retailers for around $600 + $400 for humidification. I would buy a Staebell, but I just don’t have that kind of money. My other option is to build one myself. I like this option better because it’s cheaper.
My question is what kind of wood should I make this thing out of if I go this route? I would like to keep it as cheap as possible. Can I go with a particle product with laminate or other covering on it? Should I use plywood?
I plan to line it with Spanish cedar, use silicone caulk for sealing, and take all the necessary precautions as far as leakage goes.
Thanks in advance for the input.
Edit: Here's a pic of the space
The room is a standard small bedroom with a closet on the left side where my desk/office space will go. And on the right side behind where the door would swing will be the humidor (where the black trombone cases currently are). The workable dimensions are 38.25" Wide Left to right x 18" Deep, and I plan on going 82" High, even with the top of the door jamb so that it looks level in the room. I also plan on putting a door stop peg on the bottom of the humidor to keep the room's door off of it.
The only real problem with buying is that most of the cheaper cabs are only 20-24" wide, and i want to use all of that space for cigars.
