Have fun. And post up anything useful that you learn. :-)

I'm having a blast with the table saw, jig saw, sander, the new router, saw dust flying everywhere.........
Learned that on Aspen wood after drilling the pilot hole for the screws, take a drill bit about the same size as the screw head and just drill it out a little to you can sink the head to fill it in later. I guess Aspen is harder than pine since I've never had a problem before. Anyway........................here's the base together and first coat of stain. I put a gallon jug inside so you can get an idea of size. I hope the girls like this one since it's gonna be the final set up.

Now I have to find screened vents, don't know if I should get the round cupboard ones or regular slotted rectangles. Make the sliding glass frame, order the glass and tracks, cut out for lights on top and maybe cut out a section on the bottom to insert a glass panel for a UTH.

Looking good so far! Please remember to be careful so that you don't hurt yourself and wear safety goggles, dust mask, etc..

from my experience melamine is the cheapest and safest building material for homemade enclosures, my iguana was very happy.

Shoot, no need to worry, power tools I am proficient in. Once I have the plans layed out, well as Kramer would say "giddy-up".

Most building suppliers carry pre-cut sheets of wood. If you work around the pre cut size, you won't even need a saw.
