its a bit of a long and painful story, but heres the short version,..
about a year ago i had huge plans to build a bunch of enclosures, purchased about $1000 in materials and got to work with a hand saw, screw driver, screws and a drill,...believe it or not they looked so crappy i put them in the garage, i was so disillusionjed with my lack of skill there was no point in buying glass and tracks of wasting another second on them.
i was on the verge of taking them to the tip and spending a fortune on ready made enclosures when i met King Sirloin (well, thats his user name, real name is Craig)
we live near each other so we decided to check out each others setups and i discovered the guy is an absolute legend when it comes to building stuff,.....i asked him to look at my disgraceful work and see if he could do anything to save my lame attempts,..
so he took away teh 2 jungle enclosures first, and returned them 2 weeks later, next he took my 5x2 foot gecko enclosure and returned that a week later, currently he has one that hes splitting into 2 for me,....which i cant wait to see,..
the pegboard was my idea of ventilation, Craig cut additional slits in the sides which is much better,...and looks so neat!!
so heres some pix of his handy work, im sooo impressed, they look even better than they looked in my head!!
mum is so impressed shes asked me to ask Craig to make her some bedside tables,...
hes so quick and his work is beautiful,...Thanks Craig fro finishing my enclosures! you are an absolute legend!!
see the perfect joins where he cut the door in,..
i love how he carved a bit out of the wood to set the sliding tracks in,...it looks so professional,..!!
the door locks are fantastic, teh jungles use them to get to the top shelf,..(i havent finished setting up the inside yet,....but wanted to post pix of Craigs handywork,..
tehy stack together beautifully, and the heat panels form teh jungle enclosures heat the sand in the gecko enclosure,..there will be a wall full when he finished the rest!
and lastly Ra, loving life in his new home,... (Ra is my snexy boy bred by Colin)
so i lied about this being the short version, im just too happy with my new enclosures to shut up about tehm!
thanks Craig, and to anyone who wants something special built get in touch with Craig, hes posted some pix of other enclosures here that look fantastic,..!!!
GENIUS!!!!
