    DIY CABINET COOLER INCUBATOR How we did it and TEST RUN Ready Set GO!

    HA HA HA!! Money?? MONEY?? Are you kidding? I have around $50-60 in my controls. That's it! The biggest thing is the time it takes to build the cabinet. And then, adding egg turners. They aren't cheap. But, you can start with just one and add more as you need too, so it's scalable if...
