My DH LOVES to build ANYTHING I let him (or don't LOL!) We were talking about him and I making one together. I made 2 of my own, the styrofoam ones, the first I made with too small of a cooler... I thought well I'm only incubating 3-4 eggs at first so it can be smaller... yeah, didn't think about the fact that the smaller incubator would get too hot with the light bulb! DUH ME! The second one is great as long as it doesn't get too hot or too cold in my bdrm (where I keep it for the time being.) We were looking at pricing for the thermostats and stuff earlier, but it seemed really pricey. I will check yours out right now, $40 seems a lot better than the $60 and $90 I've been seeing so far lol. Thanks hun! LOLyou could be brave and build one.

less than 40 bucks - its doing very well on its first hatch. The thermostat is digital and very reliable. You could use 2 x 30 watt lights instead of the heating element if you wanted to.
