Here's a few pics of the incubator I built. It works great. I just covered it in 1 1/2 inch foam board to hopefully make it alittle more energy effeciant.

I agree, and was also wondering how about the turner. on mine I have a bbq rotisserie motor with gears and a chain to gear it down even more and make it stronger. controled by a digital timer that I accidentally bought that is capable of programing seconds. no where does it say it will program seconds but while programing it seconds started flashing and I couldnt believe it. I was actually looking for a timer capable of doing this and couldnt find one. princess auto had it for like 4 bucks and I have at least 4 more of them somewhere.

Sportsman turner assembly on the one side and routisserie turner motor with sportsman timing motor on the other. Both are mounted behind the egg racks similar to a Sportsman. This summer will be my third year with this. For a hatcher I gutted an old oil heated incubator, and converted it to electric(sportsman heat element, small hovabator fan, etc). Not as fancy as my incubator but does the job.
Been wanting to build a pellet mill, but thats alittle more difficult. Wood workng I have the patience for, but fabricating elaborate metal work, not so much. I have a welder and do attempt/complete some stuff, but woods alittle more forgiving to work with than metal.
