For my birthday the end of January, the wife bought me the fixins for my small winedor build. Newair 121E (12 bottle size), and pieces of spanish cedar and some dowels to make my shelves with. Yes, I know its smaller than everyone else goes with, but I don't smoke constantly, so a couple hundred sticks resting is more than enough for me...:stogie:

I finished it up over the weekend, and am currently getting it seasoned and ready for occupation. I will be using about 10 65% bovedas and have a Caliber IV hygro attached to one of the drawers.
While I was doing the shelf build, I also cleaned and desmelled the inside of the newair.
That's a good size, about what I would need too, I like it.
Thanks Kendall...You can find these premade with drawers/shelves, but they were all out of stock when I was looking. You can also get the drawers or shelves from Forrest for a good price, but I like to do things myself sometimes.
I'll post final pics afer the seasoning is finished and I have put my cigars in...
I think if I had to do it again, I would use 1/2 inch for the sides front and back, and 1/4 inch for the bottoms. For this I used 3/4 all around. Didn't have SC local that I found, so I had ordered from amazon and what I could get was limited.
Very nice. You did good with the shelves!
If I were doing something like this, I would probably use a pound or two of heartfelt beads rather than the bovedas, just a thought.
Nice build...great job! It seems the size is perfect for you, so who cares what others have...congrats!
