Got a 5 tub done.

Was in the shop for some me time today and was able to cut out and assemble a 5 high 28qt tub rack. Also worked out a 24x24x14 PVC cage for some of my smaller snakes. I'll assemble it tomorrow.

Have to clean the junk off the dado cuts, but they're flush.

Dave

EDIT TO ADD: I was not paying attention to where this ended up. Please move it to another area if an admin or mod feels the need.

Nice work !

Very nice. Well executed. That's what my designs look like in my head but with no tools I have to rely on home depot to make my cuts and end up with this http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/02...84dae9228a.jpg

Thanks! I'm toying with the idea of turning this into something.

After seeing what is on offer at the NARBC I can't help but think people would jump at your racks. Obviously the logistics are more detailed than that but yours is superior structurally and aesthetically.

You make it on a CNC dave ? Very nice work. I work a lot with the pvc for carpentry . If your ever looking an awesome adhesive sealant filler for pvc this is it http://www.bondfill.com/ fuses the plastics together

that's a 2 week project with sloppy results for this DIY (not!) guy. I'm envious.

Thanks! I'll look into it. Oh, and yes. All the stuff I've been making is all CNC.

I've heard that super glue works really well too, something about how it chemically welds the materials together. I was thinking about it and if you have all your channels routed for the shelves and everything, you might not even need nails or anything. How cool would that be to receive an unassembled rack that you just glue together. I guess I would still use screws on a really big rack like a breeder rack, but some of the smaller racks like a 5 tub 28qt or a hatchling rack you could probably just get by with the adhesive and routed channels for shelves. But I've never worked with pvc to make a rack, so I'm not sure if that would be too hard with making a mistake and not being able to fix it.

I wouldn't glue it. I mean, yeah it'd be super easy but it only took me 15 or 20 minutes to screw the thing together and put tubs in it.

Dave

How much was that CNC machine I think I have a birthday request to make :P J/k Very nice work!! :gj:

I forgot I was going to post a pic of the 24" cage I made the other day. Here's the prototype in the rack between two 36" units and under a row of 48s.

I have to fine tune the stack, but it fits well. Too bad the color was not a match to the other. Oh well. At least it's temporary.

Dave

Looks great.

Those are all awesome!! When we buy our next place (<24 months hopefully) I'd love to set up a stack of cages instead of a rack system. They look great, and the family and I like observing our animals too.

I'm thinking about building one for my ATB. At this point I might just take one of my existing designs and turn it on it's side. Boom, done. What do you need help finding?

Dave

Well I just need to know a good non transparent plastic that comes in sheets to build an enclosure for my gtb needs to be at least 24X24X24
