Pics of the new rack system

I would build three big cages instead of building this one rack.There's six shelves but only 5 fit in.Time consuming, heat tape wiring, messing up on cutting out the shelves kind of fun, not really.It took three sheets of melamine, but it's done.Now my buddy wants me to build him one.A table saw would be the shizo to have and make things speed up a lot faster.I should have asked santa for that.

I got a table saw, just for building cages, and am learning that it is a very useful tool (haha, I'm not mechanically or constructionally inclined.) for other things...
I am planning on building 12 48x24x12-inch cages in the next couple of months. I have devised a functional design that will cost me about $80-$85 for each cages, with a hinged acrylic door, vents and heat. I can't wait to get started,
I totally dig the bloods I just got yesterday, it will be neat to watch them mature.

Of course it's my opinion, I said it, didn't I?

Yeah lucky you, I'll have to get one here soon, will make my life much easier for all my projects.Hey one more thing if your using melamine for your cages make sure to use the contact paper also.Angel mention this trick a while back to help with moistier problems that may develope.Watch out those bloods are addicting,before you know it you'll have a 1/2 dozen or more.

I just picked up all the last few things I needed for mine today. Now I just need to find a few hours to put it all together. My pops has a circular saw and stuff but I just got the guys at Home Depot to cut it its alot easier and more precise anyways. Oh yea, I got my heat tape from Bean Farm, thanks for the advice, they treated me pretty good.
