Thanx - it took me about 3 hours to get to this stage, the longest part was buying all the components and waiting for delivery's and even now im still waiting for the tracking and glass. I think the next step is going to be the hardest and most time consuming which is the rock wall - hopefully ill have a beardie soon lol.

Thanx again

Ive ordered 4mm toughened glass as the price difference between normal and toughened was only £1.00 the only difference was i have to wait 10 day's instead of 2.
