another dresser cab

[kweb1989]

it always take me a long time to make cabs cause i dont work and money is really tight always so keep that in mind!

here is a project i am working on over a long time.
just wanted to post a bit for people to see what im up too even though i dont know anyone here yet... but lets get to t he pics...


the front is in a drying process and i have the feeling i screwed it up cause it fits inside instead of around the box's frame... how im going to make a door from it, i have no idea now that i already started to glue it.... SHIT!

 

[kweb1989]

well the glue is dried and heres a pic of it near the cab
so far total cost is 16 dollars for the wood...


i need to buy screws because the back wanted to come off when i put the door on... hmmm but t he door fits really tight... what i do next... im not sure... i only have 10dallars left... whata do... whata do

you'd be better off spending your money on 23watters
and 26's, both are often found in 4 packs for about $6.99
and come with a $3.00 rebate so only a buck a bulb final
cost.

that means that the 23's would be $4.00 for 92watts,
plus, they don't have to be all the same spectrum so
you can mix in some reds and some blues to get a
more balanced and natural light for your girls.

good luck, SOG

btw, lol, the 26watters add up to 104watts for $4.00
after rebate.

thx for the insight SOG... much appreciated

Dressers are some of the stealthiest grow boxes.

Chances are you could find one for really cheap and possibly free as well. I would make one if I had the tools.

Mind sharing how you made the door?

- i took out the drawers
-unscrewed the front "panel" (part you see)
-unscrewed the hardware
-measured the exact length and width of the front inside of the dresser
-then went to lowes and cut a sheet of plywood at the store
-used some wood glue and glued the dresser panels onto the sheet i had cut
-than i finished it off by super glueing the hardware back on because the screws were too short to go all the way through

Thanks. Sounds simple enough. Good luck with your dresser.

i found some white paint in the shed so my next plan is to paint the cab ill post pics of it soon enough

 

[kweb1989]

all i can say is painting sucks... i hate it...

waiting for the first coat to dry so i can go over it again...
i need to get a brush too for the edged, but it is comming along... slowly but surely

Yeah that's a great setup, kweb1989.

Sounds like your shelf board is a bit too wide. As little as 1/16" could mess things up. You could take the board back to Lowes and have them shave it.

I'm not sure if it's the shelf or the camera lens but the board looks bowed . If it is, I'd consider a couple or three right-angle shelf brackets. Hydro or freshly watered pots have considerable weight.

In case you get another gift card, you can get a 150wHPS security light at e-conolight.com for ~$52. A piece of wire converts it to a remote ballast and heat is reduced even further. Best wishes with your project, I like what I sees so far.
