Default Re: Finished my first bin cage!

That's looking good! I almost got that Wilko bin but was not sure about the corrugated lid & trying to get the mesh fastened with no gaps for hammy to investigate but looks as though you did a good job. I tried to cut my SAMLA lid with a hot craft knife but it is very thick plastic & I ended up using a coping saw, starting from drilled holes. Hard work!!

If anyone needs to make round holes for bolts instead of slits for ties & you don't have a drill or other suitable tool then a large nail heated up makes neat holes. Either hold the nail with pliers or bang it through a piece of wood to make a handle.

Those toys are excellent - love the little castle/climbing whatever!! Wicked!!
