We are using an old soda fridge that wasn't working to convert into a massive cabinet incubator. Ordered the IncuKit basic from IncubatorWarehouse.com.

This is the first in a series of videos, showing exactly how we converted it.

This is what's called a hole saw. And this particular one's like an inch and a half. This is about where this gets below the cover upstairs and past the rack.

"Is that catching fire?"

It is hot.

"Woooh. Okay. Sorry I had to say that because I can see the smoke."

These slots on the sides. Is how you pry it out. But it fell out in that case.

Let them see.

"Well, let them see. I can barely see. I'm not as tall as our regular cameraman either, so he's trying to. Wow. Who knew? That's kinda cool."

Normally, you have to pry it out. I may have to go get a fresh battery. That's why I leave these old ones at the house, the old drills, the old stuff, because they're not up to standard for the work I do outside of.

"Yeah, but you're an American."

I do it by hand. If I had to. All right.

"Wow."

All right. You can use just about anything. It doesn't have to be round to cover that. You can actually use tape. From what we can tell, it doesn't require very much. But she happened to have these canning lids that she was using. So we're going to use those and.

"Yeah."

I don't know if I like that. It says it's sure tight, but it sure don't feel tight to me.

"OK, I'm going to move where I can see. There we go. And then he's doing the bottom one because I'm short."

All you got to do is, if they get loose. You can tighten up. There we go. There's the vents. Ta da. Now we have vents, and we have controls.

"I covered with a bag."

It's out in the weather right now. Let's put more shelves in here and I'll put this cover over. So.

"We'll get back with you when we do that."

And put the Turners in and all that? But you can probably incubate now. I'm just not turning.

"I want to be able to take it has to run for a couple of days to test the temperature."

Ya, and I got to put a floor in your future shops that don't have to keep moving it.

Yeah.
