Yay, I built a reptile egg incubator! And here’s how I did it.
First, thanks to all the nice and cool peeps for their help along the way and for your feedback.
Secondly, this is how I am writing out my thread. This first post in my DIY incubator thread will outline the materials and tools I used. The next few posts will go over my build process in 4 steps:
1. The Prep
2. The Assembly
3. The Accessories
4. The Test and Debrief
That said, these were my goals for my build:
1. Make it work
2. Learn and have fun
3. Make it pretty!
