We don't have this yet.

Build

  • Polystyrene box. I think this is the best material for the container as it's a good insulator and we can get it in the right shape.
  • Heating mat
  • Maybe thermostat

Risks

  • Need to make sure no fire risk. Polystyrene can give off fumes or burn. If the heat source is low and well made shouldn't be a problem.

With shaker

  • Platform
  • Motor to provide rotation (example above uses a record player)

Or buy ?
