My new humidor

Heres what I just finished building, my new home for my puerh. I used white pine with nails holding it together and magnets to hold the lid closed. My next plan is to add a shelf. Whaddya think?

Looks pretty solid. How well do the magnets keep the lid closed?

He ain't lying about the jumbo sized one either. Mine will hold about 75 or so cakes, and I'm already thinking about what I'm going to do once its filled.

wow, I can't wait to have even 30 cakes! The magnets work pretty good, although there are some cracks around the door. I think I might get some really small weather striping to help seal it up. Oh and how long should I season it before I put in my tea? Thanks

I cant wait to have just 20! As a teen, I am broke so not to much comes my way in the tea area.
Overall looks pretty good. Have you read my thread about building mine. You may find some useful info about seasoning it in there.

A shelf would be an easy thing to add, just through bore the thing and use dowells as the shelving. 5/16 dowells an inch or so apart would be about right, or if you wanted to get fancy blind bore the holes from inside and spring the dowells nto place.

Its pretty good. I'm still trying to get my tasting down but its slightly ?spicy? I guess and it tastes a little sweet. I would recommend it.

Beecrofter- Nice idea I wouldn't have to worry about air movement throughout the cabinet. I'll see what I can do.
