Mallen: i saw the same post and tried a fish heater and that water heater design with this build. but the thermo i found in a space heater was a lot better. it regulated temp a lot better. anyhow how much did you pay for your build? On a side note, i could duplicate the dickey incubator to the label on the front and still sell it a hundred dollars cheaper then there asking. The 1/2 painted plywood would cost me about 15 dollars vs. the 70 dollars i am spending with the solid wood and sealer,for example. the purpose here is that i want to offer a system that you can put in your living room with a lamp on top. Also all of the parts that i use are very low in sound. I don't know if it's on half the time. That's why i put led indicators on the cabinet.
walkswithdog: well your looking at a better price, maybe, if you keep talking like you do. There are so many people out there trying to get something for nothing that it's hard to contend with. all i want is to build something that people want and appreciate for as little as possible. But i still have to make a small wadge and pay for the up keep of my tools. Before the economy fell, i was clearing 2500 dollars a week now i am renting my knowledge and tools out for 10-12 dollars an hour. to ask someone to front there knowledge and tool expenses for there own savings is exploitation and that's very, very frustrating. I am confident that i am offering a better product that even toughs on the market. Even if i ask people to match the price for a better build then there still getting what they pay for. Not to mention if it comes down to it i will start a web site and sell replacement parts for these builds for cost. But for now i will personally guaranty the builds and secure it with my personal address and telephone number and offer a 1 years warranty against defects. I'm just a squirrel trying to get a nut in this economy. Not to mention trying to keep busy to get my wife off my back, which is a hole nother story. It's hard when you spent the last 20 some odd years in a trade, then have to find an alternative to make a living.
