Hi there :)
My boyfriend has said he's up for building my hams a cage after I showed him some of the homemade cages posted here. Hooray!!
I've made a rough design, but want to know what he'll need to make it. The lid will be mesh, and the base and frame made out of wood, with glass sliding doors at the front.
I think plexiglass would be best to use for the doors. I would also plastikote the wooden walls and base - can I get this from B&Q?
What's the best wood to use? I want something safe, but durable.
Also, do you know what tools I'll need to get? I know nothing about DIY, so will get a list together and raid my stepdads shed lololol...I assume a saw and sanding tool. I know nothing!
Any tips will be rewarded with virtual cookies :D
ETA: do expect me to post my design in the near future to get your ideas on flaws and improvements lol.
