Bindi Enclosure Project
Well since Bindi is getting big, I decided its time to build her a nice new cage. Her old cage, will go to little Chewy, cus little Chewy is getting pretty big aswell.
Anyways, a few weeks ago we got a bunch of new furniture for one of the bedrooms at our house, so we were throwing all the old stuff out. Ive always wanted to turn something into a cage, and while I was carrying a dresser to the garbage I was like "o crap this would make a nice cage" so back in it went. Its been sitting in my basement for a couple weeks waiting for me to finish my woods class project, so I could start on the final project. The final project is our own choice. So I chose this cage.
So yah, its an old solid wood dresser, its about 4'x18"x30". so its a decent size, and will be more then enough for Bindi in her adult size. I havent decided how Im gonna heat it yet, but chances are ill be contacting someone about radiant heat panels, once I get a job, and am no longer an unemployed bum.
so anyways, heres the First Days work
This is the dresser after I took the drawers out, but I hadnt started any work.
heres the construction as I ripped all the drawer supports and guides out, you can see the wood infront that I planed and cut to make the front and supports
and heres where I was at the end of the class. Tommorow I start the inside

I thought about doing that for guinness but thought it'd be too difficult since I don't have any tools. 
I can't wait to see how it looks when its done

That will make one nice cage! My IJ would love to have that much room. I'll definitely be looking forward to seeing how you turn that one out.
Btw, how big is your girl getting to be?
