Wine cooler incubator

A friend got me a nice used wine cooler. It's 33" tall x 24" wide x 23" deep. Here is my progress so far. I am waiting for my LED lights and my fan to finish.

Wow! Amazing job. Congrats. Was this your first time doing this?

looks really good, your clutches should do well !

Thanks guys. Yeah this is my first time building anything like this. I have been watching videos and reading a lot. There is a great sticky up top here that helped me out. I have a chance at a larger cooler that a friend has. It's 24" deep x 36" long x 26" tall. Has front sliding glass doors. He wants $150 for it. I don't think I need something that big yet but I might grab it a build it into an incubator. Then sell it all done up or if anyone in NW Pa or close wants it I can get you pics.

I finally have all the stuff installed and tested. I trashed the led rope lights that I had installed. They wouldn't stick properly. I went with a nice small bulb on a switch with a dimmer. I ended up using the power supply from the led lights to control the fan. It keeps it at a nice medium speed. Circulates the air very nicely. I added 6 water bottles to help keep the heat. I did a week long test and it stayed very nice. All I am waiting on now will be my back up thermometers to keep in the incubator itself. I am going to use 3 for the top middle and bottom level of the incubator.
