Hey guys. I am making an enclosure at school for the new year when I get 2 jungle hatchies and I thought I would share my progress. Let me know of any tips if you have some.
I have made my square rails 600x600mm to have a good size depth and height.
Both ends all glued up and all square. I decided to use dowels and glue as they are consealed in the wood but are really sturdey.
Front railing where the glass pane will sit in. Length of this peice is 1400mm. I have 2 of these aswell, one for top and bottom.
I made a groove in the railing so a pane of glass or acrylic can go in. I chose 5mm.
Glued all peices together. I also cut two more rails for the back identical to the front without the groove. I placed a silver 30cm ruler to size compare it.
Side view.
Another whole shot.

The groove
Routered the inside of the end squares so a pane of glass or wood can go in there when i feel like it.
THnaks for looking,
