Thanks for sharing this post. This is a very helpful and informative material. Good post and keep it up. Websites are always helpful in one way or the other, that’s cool stuff, anyways, a good way to get started to renovate your dreams into the world of reality.

Great post, I think I might try for myself, as my partner is a DIYphobic! Plus it's cheaper than buying one. Thanks William!! xx

That's a brilliant idea,would you put substrate straight onto wood or would you line with something first

Hi, We have just built a 6ft long x 2ft wide x 3ft high table with a sunken area of 1ft deep for the tortoises out of solid pine and it has cost about £80 for the wood but it was all cut to size at the wood yard and it was a nights job to build it but it was great to see it all come together and have the satisfaction of knowing you did it yourself.

See the pics

My Fiance had not done woodwork since he was at school 20 years ago but he proudly managed it.

Great guide, really helpful.

Looking at tackling this next week ahead of the arrival of my first tort.
