    Hello everyone!
    I have been absent for quite some time from this forum. The latest year I have had some downs conserning my orchids and way to much to do at work. A not so good year for my hobby.
    But almost a year ago I posted pictures on my "future" orchid cabinet: http://www.orchidsinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=672 . And finaly I have had some time to organise and photograph it so I dare to show you how it looked like. I just had a reshuffeling so it is somewhat more ordered then on the picture.

    Enjoy:

    It looks wonderful! I'd have that in my living room.

    That is very nice and looks big for a cabinet setup. I was wondering what are the approximate dimensions and what you are using for lighting in this cabinet space?

    That's sweet Magnus. Did you construct the frame? If so how did you do it?

    Harry, I bought it second hand but the frame is constructed from standard aluminum profiles.

    Harry, from the start it was a terrarium for large snakes (I do not know what kind).
    The owner before me had used it for orchids and the bottom and back panel was in bad shape. I did build new ones with glasfiber laminated epoxi as moisture and water barrier.
