Does anyone know of a person or place I can go to have a closed tortoise table built in AZ?

I have googled, checked craigslist, etc. and I only see the pre-made ones that you can buy in the pet store. If anyone has someone they could recommend, that would be awesome!

Thank you!

You could do it yourself. Get a bookcase. Turn it on its back, remove shelves, line with plastic and you have a tort table. You may have to reinforce the back, as its usually really cheap press board, but other then that, there's nothing to it. You can also do the same thing with a dresser. Remove drawers and if you want, but don't have too, is remove the wood drawer dividers.

It's looking like I may have to do that. I've looked at a lot of different threads showing what people did, but the tools I have include a screw driver and a hammer Lol. I have been looking at the different bookcases in my house differently though. :p It would still need something built for the top. I have an upside down wire dish rack sitting on top of my aquarium to hang the lights from and all kinds of aluminum foil wrapping it to keep in humidity. It's actually working, but figuring something out for a big enclosure wouldn't be as easily rigged.
