The bowls finally arrived in today's mail. These were advertised as being 9" rounded square bowls, but measure 8 7/8" in diameter. They were also advertised as being 3 1/2" in height, but only measure 3" in height. I got a great start on its construction late this evening. The only things left to do are cutting out "squares" in either two or the final three bowls to accommodate the digital temperature and humidity sensor unit. And I still need to finish up the mounting bracket(s) on the top...and cutting a few more "spacers" needed. Here's some pics. of the rough dry fit. I added in the water bottle for size reference. It should top out at around 12" tall with the mounting bracket hardware included on the top
As you can see, I went with four threaded rods 1/4" in diameter and 12" long rather than the usual three threaded rods as most seem to use when fabricating these. I think four rods in a square configuration is more study and stable than three rods in a triangular configuration. I hope to finish it within the next day or two. I will post more pics along the way when I can.
