I started my builds this weekend. Going to build these for a shelf on my rack. More pictures to come.

Let me know what you guys think so far.

Lookin good man...get your practice in so you can build me a sick glassmaster's special

Looking good! Love home built vivs!

Looks good, I built a homemade viv with 1/4 glass and 1/8 doors. I like them nice sliding doors

Water test today.

Put the back half of one of the tops on before work tonight. Notice the hole for the fan to be mounted.

 

[Pumilo]

Gotta love it when it passes the leak test!

Looks like you've planned for a top vent?

 

[itsott]

I plan to have a 3 inch wide vent on top. I may end up closing it off depending on how the humidity looks.

 

[itsott]

A little more progress and new parts.

I think I'm incredibly envious of your garage. I need to move.

Cute band aid!

I love the home builts. Its really something out of nothing. I am watching.

Hey sorry for the delay. I got quite a bit done today just not as much as i wanted. Had to stop to pick up a new toy for the shop. Pictures to come tomorrow.

 

[itsott]

Put in a little more work this weekend.

 

[fieldnstream]

Niiiccccceeee! Good idea cutting the stump in half...it was pretty dense though, how did sawing it go? Orchids look good, when do the rest of the new plants come in?

 

[itsott]

Sawing wasnt too tough just needed a little sanding to get it right. Waiting to hear when the other plants will ship so thats as much as i know. Going to try and do some planting this weekend.

The last pic is the new shop toy i had to pick up.

 

[Pumilo]

Progress is always good! I like the square fan in a round housing. What tools/procedure did you use to round off the corners of your fans to get them to fit in the round housings?

 

[Pumilo]

Nice shop tool but the handle grips look all wrong. I think I'd have to go with a Newcastle style grip in conjunction with an Odell Cutthroat Porter.

 

[itsott]

I used a small hand saw, *****, and a dremmel to get the fans right. Those are the same fans you use. I cut everything off except the supports then cut the supports to the correct length. I have a few tap handles. Sierra nevada, dos equis, magis hat number 9, budweiser, coors light. All tap handle donations generously accepted.

 

[fieldnstream]

C'mon bubba you know you are gonna put the Zima handles on there.

 

[itsott]

If i could find a zima i would. Im already ordering a miller high life bottle opener and catch can when i order the new lines for this beast.
