    It's pretty much done! I uploaded a couple of images above.

    I need to add timers to everything and make the evap cooler. I suppose before I make the cooler I should decide what plants I'll grow in it...

    That looks great, Jon. And to think, it all started with those dandy as hell corner clamps.

    One can never overstate the profound awesomenicity of corner clamps.

    OK, what is it that you are calling corner clamps?

    They're those metal contraptions in the first picture which help make a 90 degree joint. All four corners of the top have one.

    Nice selection of plants.
    Are you using the spray system to water the plants or just to maintain humitity? How are you planning to cool them - evaporative cooler or fridge?

    Looking really good Jon, thanks for sharing and inspiring me and others :D

    I was wondering though how you think the epiweb is doing holding the mounts? Do you think this is better than using plastic coated wire?

    No reply to my question Jon :(

    As you know I have been talking about making my own cabinet for some time now and I am starting to layout some plans and supplies needed. I was really wondering how you like the epiweb on the walls to hold the mounts compared to just using plastic coated wire.
