    I have zero design and carpentry skills so I spent A LOT of time just on the design, pricing materials, setting up my work space, etc. All that I had was a circular saw, drill, a triangular measuring tool, and measuring tape. I used 2x4s but next time I would only make the base frame from 2x4s...

    New Group of 38 Eggs

    After the successful trial of my homemade Incubator now am trying my luck with 38 Eggs.But looks like I did a mistake by wrapping the incubator with aluminum foil from inside, as a result of that temperature is getting high even if I lower the voltage and it also loses heat very quickly
