    My New RUB Stack Build
    Hi all, i needed to get a new stack made as my last was abit and temps were not holding right..... so off to B&Q i went

    2 x 1220mm by 1440mm, 18mm thick MDF = £34.95p

    i had screws and saw so only need the wood

    Didn't get many pics but i will add the 1's i did get :)

    1st Cut

    The Start of the Shell With 2 33L RUB's in to make sure of Fit

    Then i fitted the Bottom and started on the front brace that had a 2" cut for each shelf to slot in (Each Shelf had the same so was like a jigsaw)
    http://i863.photobucket.com/albums/a...tackBuild5.jpg

    Then it was time for the bottom, i didn't want it sat on the floor so i made it so the bottom would have so legs all the way around so would work as support for the rack and keeps it of the floor, then i covered the front so it wasn't visible

    2 Shelves fitted and there was a gap on the to that would fit a 9L RUB in for hatchlings so i cut the wood so it will sit back anuff to cover the RUB and will leave a front bit for putting stuff if needs be :)

    at this point i ran out of wood so this is how it was left on sat eve

    So on Sunday i went up B&Q i got 1 more sheet but this time i got them to cut me the the last 3 shelf's 3ft wide and 29inc deep

    so i fitted them and pinned down the heat mat's along the back and ......

    So all thats left to do is make 2 more levels on the top so i will have 9 place's for 9L RUB's and put a Brace in to hold it.

    When the back go's on that will add extra support to the shelf's making it as soiled as a rock :)

    Anyway, hope you like :D
