I finsihed off the top mesh sides part last night and made a lid that will be hinged on the top. I now need to buy some hinges and perhaps a latch as a means securing it shut to stop the cat getting in or the gerbils out by some fluke stroke of luck, be it good or bad luck depending on who’s viewpoint you take. I also had to file down the heads of the rivets where it sits into the glass tank, it is now a tight fit.
I have now made the 4x sides of the top bit, it needs the top mesh putting in now and a door constructing for the side, and perhaps one for the top. not sure how this will work. I had two rivits break like this, I have no idea why this might have happened, could be a faulty rivit or I supose it could be the jaws in the rivit gun doing something they shouldn’t.
