Need step-by-step instructions or a link to them - PLEASE!

I have a wine cooler that was given to me last year (found it on Freecycle), and I'd really like to turn it into an incubator. Are there any clear and concise instructions anywhere for doing this? Right now I have two LGs and just really don't care for them. My feeling is that the wine cooler would make a more reliable incubator. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Here's My wine cooler incubator. I love it. I also had 2 LG's this bator holds the temp. so much better then the LG's. I bought this one on Craigslist for $125

Looks neat. Now I just need instructions on how to build one...

there are lots of ideas & instructions in the learning part of byc

all it needs is heating element, thermostat, fan or fans, shelf for water bowl for humidity, racks that can hold egg trays and pivot, attach racks together to eachother, attach one rack to motor, figure out how to use motor that will turn a couple of times a day and you're done'skeez...


the easiest way would be to use turners from like LG or hovabator... put like two of them, and maken one shelf a hatcher... that would be cool and easy...

I've checked out the BYC Learning Center, but am getting nowhere. I've done countless searches online with the same results. Does ANYONE here have step-by-step instructions - or a link to them - showing what I need and how to put it all together to make an incubator using a wine cooler/refrigerator? Pretty please?

Sorry, I'm just more of a "visual learner," and what I HAVE been able to find online to this point has been absolutely NO help.
