OK, I've got my wood, and BOY did I pay for it, so now, I want to start working on the design.
I have a basic idea in my head, but I'm looking for some more ideas.
I'm posting a bunch of pics of commercially available humidors, and then I'll try to give you my idea of what I want to build.
I'm using Walnut for the main case, and it will lined with Luan, as I cannot get Spanish Cedar here for some reason, most likely some protectionist reason, it is on the banned list here, in Japan.
The humidor will be in two pieces, the bottom will be all wood, and will be for storage of boxes of cigars.
The top will be all glass walls, with glass doors in front.
The doors will be like most RP doors, but with glass instead of wood for the panels.
The size is going to be 45 cm deep, 120 cm wide and about 180 cm tall.
The top will be not quite as deep as the bottom.
OK here are some pics of ready made humidors.....
Just some ideas.
I'm thinking that the walls of the display case (the corners, I guess) will be 1" thick stock for the strength, the doors too, as they will be carrying a fair bit of glass.
I'm going to go with the type of RP work that will have the back strip of on each panel to allow the installation of the glass, and the replacement if one gets busted.
I'll try to draw something in SketchUp to give you a better idea....
Cheers!
