First pvc enclosure .. So far so good

[spikell75]

Well so far off to a good start

Got the sheet from HD 78 bucks great deal
Some quick measurements .. Presto got some parts !!

Got my little setup in the basement.. Not the ideal location but will do. Little bit of pre drilling and everything goes right together.

Gonna get some glass tomorrow and order from reptile basics should be here soon for some heat tape and RHP's. Also have an order from Amazon to build a dual thermostat ..

More pictures to come
Thanks for looking

Looks like some nice work! How did you get the edges so smooth? Lots of sand paper?

[Bcycling]

What kind of blade did u cut it with?

[spikell75]

reg 40 tooth and some dado blades, skilled sawed the cross cuts . 100 grit sand paper works like a champ. Still have some work to do , needs some air holes slot for the led lights going in

Sweet! What are the dimensions? And did you use PVC glue and then put in the screws, or did you just screw it together?

Really nice work on the front. I would not even attempt those rounded cuts without my CNC setup.

Very nice work Spike. I'm not very mechanically inclined but I really respect and admire people that can build things.
