Cigar Weekly

This is my first post on CW. I have a potential project for a humidor and need some advice for a newbie to this site. I have a cedar lined chest that I wish to convert into my cigar box. The size is approx. 42x20x20 inches. It can hold about 30 boxes or so. What I wish to know (in no particular order) is: Will the cedar that it is lined with work? What type and quantity of humidification devices should I use? Do I treat the lining with moisture before inserting cigars? How airtight should the lid be and what material would accomplish this? This is a nice chest and would make a great unit if I can make it work. Thanks in advance for any information and I look forward to discussing cigars with, and getting to know everyone here!
