    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.
