To give an idea i built a 3 stack 6x2x2 a little while ago out of MDF and the cost was around £150 including glass and varnish.This took me 2 days to build all the vivs and then a couple of hours each day for 3 days to add the varnish on.
I built a 5x2x2 and a 24"x12"x15" incuding paint varnish and glass from MDF and these cost a little over £80.The vivs were built from 2 8x4 sheets of MDF.If you plan the cuts first you will be suprised how many vivs you can build from an 8'x4' sheet.I built and painted these in a day then took an hour to varnish each day for 3 days. It all depends on what materials you are using to be honest as to how steep the costs would be.

Sorry to jump in on your thread, Lottie but where are you guys buying your wood? I've had a look at B&Q's website but I don't know if there is anywhere better to try.

My father used to sell joinery to the trade so he can probably get hold of wood for me at a good price but getting it cut would be much more difficult and although he probably has the tools it will take a long time to get him to do it for me and I doubt they'll be as good. He claims B&Q and such like will only make one cut per sheet of wood they sell - does anybody know if this is the case?

Yeah - I believe that is right. On;y one cut per sheet. They will do more but will charge you per cut!

well that doesn't sound too bad if they aren't charging you a fortune for each additional cut - any ideas on a price?
