New Display Enclosure in progress

Now thats a NICE enclosure, i really like the modern look :gj:

Where did you get the plastic/glass for the doors? Or where are you going to get it from?

Thanks Drama :D

As for the plexi, I found it in my mom's garage with the rest of the supplies I've used... but I know you can buy plexi at most lowes or home depot places, and if I were gonna do real glass, I'd probably call around for a local glass shop to get it cut to size and have the edges ground so its not sharp. That's what I did for my bearded dragon's cage... But at the time I was still in college and over summers had access to the tools to make better doors.

This one is just a wood frame with plexi siliconed onto the back, which will have to be good enough for now :P

The only thing I have yet to do is decide how I want to accomplish ventilation... I know there's enough of a gap between the door and the frame to allow sufficient oxygen, but I dunno how well it would circulate fresh air.

I'm thinking just drilling maybe a dozen holes in each side approximately 1/4" in diameter would probably be sufficient... Anyone have experience with this?

Well, its all done :D

Just waiting on silicone to dry...

as you can see, door hinges down from the top.

I think I spent about $50-60 total including paint, silicone, and flexwatt/t-stat...

There's a dozen or so 1/4" holes in each side for ventilation... so if humidity isn't right that may change.

Pretty groovy design, thanks for sharing.

Coolbeans! :gj: I'm getting ready to build a 6ft, 4 story display rack myself, Yours looks sweet.

Thanks :)

Great build! Kudos!

Im wondering, how did you fasten the glass to the framedoor ?
just glue?

Just siliconed onto the frame for now. If as he gets bigger it needs more, then I"ll add mechanical fasteners.

Figured I'd add an updated photo or three, too :)
