Newbie Humidor Question

My main questions are should i use only wood glue for the fastening of the lid or can i use nails to hold it more securely?

Yes, you can use nails to hold it more securely.

Also, is a cigar shelf on the inside a necessity or just a convenience?

No, a cigar shelf on the inside is not a necessity.

I apologize on behalf of this entire forum for badwhale's horrible response to you. He needs to learn to simply answer questions and not try to offer different ideas or solutions. He also needs to learn to provide in-depth step-by-step instructions instead of quick short directions. After all, you took the time to word your questions so well - using perfect spelling and grammar, right? He should be ashamed.
