my enclosure build

[xmickx]

im starting my 1st enclosure i picked this up off ebay for $30,i wont to get a hypo bredli for this.

next step was to take off the doors and remove the top section,turn it upside down so the top lip will hide the electrics.

great beginnings, you've gotta love it when you score a bargain. I dont know that the Bredli will like sharing with the gorgeous little juvi that already seems to have staked her claim to it

keep us posted with the progress shots

Nice one mate, I am currently on the hunt on eBay for the exact same thing, got my eye on an old wardrobe for $20 !! But a tv unit is perfect , keep us updated with pics

i would use the bottom bit now for a build in hide hole put a dark door on the front so u could open it that would be cool i think.

 

[xmickx]

I have cut and removed 3/4 of the bottom shelf for a hide

 

[MissFord]

Awesome, good idea turning it upside down, I will be following closely...
I have EXACTLY THE SAME TV cabinet. I picked it up last week for FREE!!! haha cant get a better price than that!
Go on gumtree.com.au there are a few cabinets/draws on there, sometimes for free if your quick like me!!

I wish I could do something like this. Bit hard in a share house with no garage. I have all my tools here, though.

Would be kinda hard to explain what I was doing to my housemates and the landlord... I'm not allowed pets, LOL.

kawasakirider - building 1 for a mate, or maybe building 1 for extra cash

 

[kawasakirider]

foam

 

[tyson001]

looks good hope you dont mind but where did you get the foam

 

[xmickx]

shhhhhhhhhhhhhh
from work it comes in 1/2",1",2"inch thick

 

[jham66]

I would've left one of the holes open for a little while, that way you could use a pre-wired heat lamp ballast.

I'm really liking this project!!

 

[xmickx]

put a extra shelf and started the back wall
