Homemade Humidor Part 2
ByOk, got a little more work accomplished on the homemade humidor/Igloodor project. I completed the wire shelves, and they turned out perfect.
You will see from the pictures that I used a bolt cutter instead of a hacksaw to cut the wire shelves for the homemade humidor. I am glad that I bought the bolt cutters, it made the job easy and fast.
I am not going into great detail on measuring and cutting the trays. Just remember that the Igloodor is not perfectly square. The front of the igloodor was about 12″ wide measured inside of the grooves of the igloodor. In the rear of the coolidor, it was about 11″ inside of the grooves. So when cutting the wire trays, measure carefully, cut the shelves a little oversized, and just trim lightly until it fits.
Also, you will notice that I am standing the coolidor up like a cabinet. You will need to remove the bottom handle so that the bottom of the coolidor is flat. Its easy to do, just 2 screws.
Lastly, some people complain about a plastic aroma in the coolidor. I had no aroma in mine. If you detect an aroma, just wash it out with dish soap, and let is sit out in the sun (open of course) for a few days.
Part 3 will be Humidification choices, and your hygrometer.
