Update

well guy's and girl's I finally got the cabinet finished.

it took bloody forever due to the sliding tempered glass door's being cut to the wrong size, so then had to wait another week and a half for new one's to be made up.:x

although this gave me plenty of time to Varnish the cabinet Approx 10x and to make sure that it had plenty of time to dry and air out

any way here are some pics of the end result

Enjoy

Great looking enclosure you have there!

If you are interested, on our website - www.virides.com.au we have acrylic slider handles for use on sliding glass which aid in opening and closing. It is something to grip onto with ease and reduces the occurance of fingerprints on your glass.

thanks mate I took a look at your website and I like the idea of your clear snake handle's and am interested but do you have better pic's?

At this moment we are currently planning on making a demo display enclosure and deck it out with our products from which we can more easily present them.

I would like to work on it this weekend

Best way to seal it is to use arraldite and just pour it along the inside it will dry completely level and have a clear finish about 1-3mm thick. plus it will be invincible

and the vents need to be set up for airflow one on each side one at the top one on the bottom depending on where you place your heat source

looks great and dont worry about using pine, i'd say its just some bull that someone has come up with to make themselves important and smart. The house that you are probably in now has a pine frame and you're still alive and kicking. I find it funny that people seem to put much more thought into their reptiles health than they do their own...
