PICS of my new PLASTIC boa cage step by step pics!!!

allan_M Aug 30, 2003 09:13 PM

I build this cage today out of black ABS and Acrylic. This pic is from the begining, with constructing the frame first and the bottom.

Next I cut out the doors using a rotorary tool.

And finally installing the hinges, locks, and doors, and then the top. The finished product! What do you think???

What stops the snake from pushing the top corners of the door out? Looks like the latch is in the middle of each door.

I have never worked with abs acrylic and such. It looks like you use CA (Cyanoacikdivje) as the way to glue the pieces. Is that correct?

I used to use CA to glue my model air planes. It is like super glue.

Is that what you use to glue the pieces together? I am asking because I am curious as to what you use to connect the pieces together.

thx in advance
