I like being able to control whats on and whats off not to mention knowing at a glance what is running at that time. i defiantly wanted to put the turner switch close to the door. With the dickey i had to goto the back of the...

    Incubator Contest

    Ok. So here is the story behind this incubator. I had a friend bring by a dickey incubator. I wanted to build one. After seeing the bator i wanted to customize it to me so i added a few extras. The first thing that had to go was the 1/2" plywood, so i built mine with 13/16" cabnet grade heart...

    Quote: Peltiers are a waste of time. I tried this in my bators due to there efficiency. It's not that the peltiers don't produce the right temp but the rate at which they heat and how fast it can be transferred throughout the cabinet space. If you want to get a good hatch rate don't use...

    Custom Electronic Thermostats

    Quote: Thanks. It also run so quite that you can't here it running from 8 feet away. But the idea behind the design is to bring back the quality of the now antique designs.
