[Josh]

thanks its not hard at all.
but i am getting 1 inch board next time

[Josh]

i have a question.
mainly to stefan james and any others who make the own vivs
where could i get sliding doors?

[Stefan-A]

I bought the tracks from a glass company. I guess you could find them in the DIY department, too. I know some people make them by gluing two U-profile tracks together.

i put on a swivel top.
my own design

Looking good so far Josh. Circular vents like the ones you show can be fitted using a hole-saw of appropriate size. As for the sliding glass doors, I buy the plastic runners from the DIY store, then I get the glass cut to size at the glass merchants. I also get all the edges dressed and finger grips ground in.

this with the to closed.

then you slide it to the side and it opens

then on the top im going to cut a square out from the middle leaving 3 inches left on each side.
