    Can I transform this into a mini-rack

    Hey gang! found this dresser by the dumpster and I had the bright idea trying to convert into a mini rack what do you guys think? Its 45in x 36in x 19in. The drawers are 34 1/4 x 18 x 5 1/4.
    Do you guys have any suggestions? Can I run flex-watt on the bottoms or what I have to put glass down. I'm going to have to do doors that flip up does anyone have any ideas on how to do the hinges or examples?

    I'll be honest here.. First off its looks beat to hell and looks junky,second the levels look so thin it's ridiculous...why don't you just buy or build something nice and new.

    then again,I think a lot of rack systems are cruel.but that's me

    The dimensions are pretty tight, but 41 qt tubs might fit in those slots. Flexwatt when properly regulated by a thermostat can go directly on the wood.

    What are the doors for?

    well actually I was going to do racks for the bottom if I breed and have a clutch or two, but the top three were going to be more of a display type.the condition is it that bad, cosmetically yeah its beat to hell but I was going to paint that and put a nice little bp design on it, but the interior is sturdy as hell, its sick all 245 pounds of me to get it up the steps alone

    How do you plan on heating the display cages?

    Ok, well you can't have flex watt exposed inside a display cage, you will have to put some kind of false floor in.
