it looks good, wish i could make one but don't even have the tools and any idea of how. I would love to make one for my bredli (for when he's bigger) just to have the satisfaction of doing it myself. What wood is that your using? Are you going to paint it? Anyway Great job u must be proud.

Warp81 i go to a slavage yard/demolition place and you can get glass and melamine sheets cheap. I pay $20 for a 2400 x 1200 sheet of melamine and $3 for each sheet of glass(i buy 2 for sliding glass doors) and you build to fit. Cheap.
