Building a cabinet incubator

[Carmenscoupons8592]

I am looking into building a cabinet incubator, I've got 5 styrofoam ones going now and it's a hassle I want a cabinet.

Does anyone know what I would need to build one? Where to buy the parts? Any diagrams out there?

I'm going into this not knowing how to really build one, I know the basics of a incubator but get very nervous about trying to build one. Any help would be appreciated thank you in advance

look into the search function BYC I am sure there is some info and use google "how to build cabinet incubator".
Really going to depend what you want to build. Prolly build it with framing and plywood.
Maybe you can find a old wine bottle cooler and convert it.
Broken small refrigerator or freezer.
it will have to seal well and some type of venting.
Then you need to design airflow, heat, temp sensor, temp controller, humidity etc.
Then you will need electrical knowledge or someone to wire it together.
Then you will need racks for eggs, or homemade turners, or pre made turners.
When I make something I sketch on paper first and expand from there. In the end make a drawing. Maybe you can find plans on the internet or maybe there is some here on BYC.
Parts, google incubator parts. That will give you a idea what you need.

Might be easier to buy a used cabinet incubator. craigslist, auctions.
Good Luck

Keep in mind that bare wood will absorb humidity. You will wan't to seal the wood with something to keep that from happening.
