    Veneer glue for humidor?

    Hey, everybody. I am making a small, desktop humidor. The sides are made of spanish cedar and the top MDF. I am adding rosewood veneer on the outside. I was looking at titebond for veneer, but in the product specs it says not appropriate for high humidity. What glue should i use? Thanks, Jeff

    Seasonal Humidity Change

    It's time to start paying attention to humidity (or lack of it), especially if you're working with thin wood that will stay inside a heated environment in the winter when it's finished. If you have a Samsung Galaxy S4 cellphone you have a hygrometer included along with its barometer and...

    Humidity question

I was supposed to be done by now, but the customer kept making changes and adding delays. Now I'm faced...

    humidity control question

    I store my wood under my house in a "crawl space" that is about 1500 sq ft with six foot headroom. I have the wood stored on racks above the dirt floor. It seems to be dry yet when I checked the wood today with moisture meter it showed 15 - 16%. What would be the best way to reduce this level...

    Humidity in shop FYI

    I went to Home Depot the other night and bought a small digital thermometer/humidity guage. After a day in my shop the humidity was at a staggering 88%. I'm not sure what anyone else's unheated/uncooled shop is at. But I think it is a little high. Would a window A/C unit dehumidify enough?
