Re: 4x2x3 Maple Wood Enclosure Progression
you can look at my threads here in the diy forum you'll see where I placed them. About 1/2 to 2/3 up from the bottom. I figure I'm getting some air leaking in from doors to help with some circulation. No issues so far with mold or stagnant air.

Well had a pleasant Surprise today, My aunt who I haven't seen in about 2 years came to town, visiting from my Texas for a conference so we hung out a bit after I got off work and had dinner. Just got home a bit ago from dinner and only have time to apply the silicone, which is now complete and should be fully cured by tomorrow evening after work.
This project is coming along very well, Tomorrow I will most likely be able to drill holes for the vent and sand outside. As for the venting, I think I will do I think I'll save the staining of the wood for this weekend.

Re: 4x2x3 Maple Wood Enclosure Progression
Looks great. Stain can be a bit pain in the ass. Takes practice I have trouble with the darker stains so I stick with the light ones myself. They are a bit more forgiving. Don't sweat to much on the vent placement. As long as you have air flowing you'll be fine. Start with a small amount and you can add more holes later if needed.

Re: 4x2x3 Maple Wood Enclosure Progression
So I decided to do away with the stain, so I re-sanded the entire enclosure, used some really good primer/hider and then really good paint; And it looks really good now. Itleft the Drill in the pics to show scale.
I still have to do LED lights, heat (CHE), purchase and install glass. Then it’s complete.
What sucks is I haven't been able to all get glass, but all the glass shops close at 5pm, some even close at 4pm, so this makes getting glass damn near impossible , unless I go during Lunch, AND.... they are all closed on weekends. They must not want my business. Which blows.

Re: 4x2x3 Maple Wood Enclosure Progression
Man, that’s looking awesome already! I was JUST talking the last two days about figuring out how to build my own enclosure (least handy person ever!), as almost no one makes non-glass enclosures over 2ft tall! Stoked to see how this turns out.
