Installing the Beveled Glass<br />
1. Because the glass keeper strip (#23) is flexible we found that<br />
inserting the strip in the frame and then cutting the strip to fit, as it<br />
is installed, is more accurate than measuring the interior of the<br />
frame and cutting pieces prior to insertion. Carefully place the<br />
beveled glass into the rabbetted frame. Start by cutting a 45° cut on<br />
one end of the keeper strip (Photo #9). With the glass in the<br />
rabbetted frame, insert the serrated edge of the keeper strip into<br />
the slot. Gently push the keeper strip in until it seats flush. Mark the<br />
proper length of the strip, remove from the groove and cut 45° at<br />
your mark. Continue this process around the frame. Using the<br />
flexible keeper strip makes it easy to remove the beveled glass for<br />
cleaning.<br />
Mounting the Hardware<br />
1. Place the two 10mm hinges (#21) in the holes at the back of the<br />
box taking care to position the leaves of the hinges perpendicular to<br />
the back of the box and the top of the barrels flush with the wood<br />
surface. This will ensure that the hinges open and close easily and<br />
do not bind (Photo #10). Using a very small screwdriver, tighten the<br />
screws of the hinges. By tightening the screws you will be expanding<br />
the barrel slightly so the hinge will be secured within the hole. No<br />
glue is needed to keep the hinges in place.<br />
2. Place the lid support (#22) into the mortise on the right side of<br />
the box base (Photo #11). Use a scratch awl to make starter holes<br />
through the support and into the side of the box. Secure in place<br />
with the provided mounting screws. Put a small drop of CA glue on<br />
and around the cylindrical stem of the stay and place it into the<br />
mating hole in the top of the lid. Let dry.<br />
3. Place the hygrometer (#19) in the cigar tray in a convenient<br />
location so that you can read the dial through the beveled glass<br />
when the humidor is closed.<br />
4. Fill the Slim <strong>Cigar</strong> Keeper humidifiers (#20) according to the<br />
manufacture’s instructions. Place one in the base of the humidor<br />
and the other in the cigar tray.<br />
