    new homeade incubator I buit. Opinions? (pics)

    Thank you all and yes the turner is homeade. The two egg trays rotate front to back with the grill meat turner. I used file cabnint bars and connected the motor on a cam to the top tray and connected the top tray to the bottom tray and both trays move together at the same time.

    home made incubator

    I have not used a hot water thermostat yet but my temps in (trials) have stayed constant. What research I have done has said the distance the hot water heater thermostat is from the light is verry key to consistancy. I have adjusted mine like 100 times and it is approx two finger widths away...
