Might get motivated and finally do one myself.  Been meaning to do that for a while now.

Hey Papabear,

I found this using the search, because I remembered reading it earlier.

I don't know how to make it linky.  I hope it helps!  I'm going to need to build one this summer too, I hope!

love,

Me too and it only cost me a pane of glass and it works great!  I also duct-taped the glass edges like she recommended.
