[Vegas Chad]

Where the heck do you live? I want to know how far I have to drive to get one! Very nice work.

 

[sandrachameleon]

fantastic cage.

the only downside I can find is how crappy your cage makes mine look.

 

[adamkwas]

WOWZA! Excellent; beautiful; stunning -- whatever you call it, It's AMAZING!

Got some extra time for a couple more to ship out to me?



Great work,
Adam

The Grasses are Dracena (safe) they add a nice effect can't wait to see them all grow out.

Nice Enclosure

First off...excellent enclosure! Second, I live just north of you in Concord NH and I am interested in building my own wooden enclosure. I have access to the marine epoxy that you spoke of earlier in your post. I really would like to build a round enclosure, primarily of wood. Any thoughts? or suggestions/ideas?

 

[Calciumbuf]

Round could get a little tricky hows your woodworking skills?

 

[dodolah]

Excellent! Can I order 3?

Excellent! Can I order 3?

You Can shipping is a little pricey though

 

[jukeboxpunk]

nevermind

Now I am considering 2" by 3" by 6-7" enclosure. Ya my woodworking skills, what wood working skills? I learn as I go. What type of wood did you use for this build? and stain?

I agree with the wood and sealer thats wat my house is after 20 years its still standing lol

To build a round one will require a lot of joints, if not made correctly with precision could lead to a lot of issues down the road, I used heart pine to match a existing mantle in the room and Sherman Williams golden cherry stain.

 

[jejton]

That is a beautiful enclosure. I'd love to build something like that for my timor monitor. Do you have any plans that you can share ?

 

[windy]

I want one too please!! The sloping floor is a fab idea...how have you achieved it?? (I have pen and paper at the ready...yup, Im unashamedly nickin your ideas )

 

[Texas Panther Man]

Gorgeous your wood working skills make me green with envy.
