    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I am looking to build a custom enclosure for my black roughneck monitor. What I am envisioning and could use help with is something that is about 6'x6'x3', and can break down into three pieces. With three sets up sliding glass doors, and incorporates a large shallow RV sink with a drain that comes out through the bottom.
I need help with the sliding glass doors, I don't know how to make the track, or where to buy custom tracking with ball bearing. I can program a CNC so I am thinking about cutting them out of aluminum, and just let them slide without ball bearings.
I also need to know about how I can build lightweight walls that he can climb on, and strong self supported shelves.
To put it simple I am going to try to replicate three 75 gallon aquariums out of wood, with sliding glass doors, and exclude the tops/bottoms out of each of the three pieces so they are all interconnected, and affixed by wooded pegs at each of the four corners. Which should make them removable. If I create the walls when each piece is sepperate, I want them to match when they come together. However deep the sink is is how deep the substrate will be, and the bottom I think should be a stand to allow water to drain front he bottom and storage for stuff.

1. I need to know if anyone has cage plans similar to this?
2. Where/how do i find all the little connecting pieces/tracking to make custom sliding glass doors
3. What is the best way to make light weight walls and strong shelves?


I would really appreciate some help from someone who has been through this before, Thank You!
