Google it. There are lots of ways to giter done. A good thermostat is a must.
A cooler will work fine for 1 or 2 clutches. Once the basic idea is understood, there's not much to it really.

I used a wine cooler. The water bottles(water) are to help temps stabilize faster after having the door open.The fan runs 24/7 on 12vdc.
I'm putting together a smaller unit for my dad using the parts from a hovabator and a ice chest/cooler.
Get a good thermostat and the rest of it is not to hard to figure out.
I like the Brinsea incubator thermometer to check temps ($10)
Hope this helps.
