White oak veneer
Natural colour and grain vary. Oak is the specified appearance; maple and walnut require separate stock/finish checks. The construction viewer shows oak.
For one adult regal jumping spider, Phidippus regius. Oak covers the roof, faces and exposed edges. The fine side screens and continuous door seal require physical verification.
Review design only: material, hardware, seal, prototype and species-review holds remain. Do not cut production parts or introduce an animal while the relevant holds are open.
This is a small precision woodworking project with custom acrylic parts. Arrange competent routing/drilling help if you cannot safely hold the narrow parts. Work with an empty enclosure only.

Support the sheet on both sides of the cut and use the saw’s guards and extraction. Cut oversize blanks, then square and trim to the released finished dimensions.
Check before continuing: Every part has its ID and datum edges. Stock defects have not consumed an essential part or trial blank.
Wait / hold: Stop if actual stock does not match H01.
Before you begin: Clamp the panel flat with sacrificial backing. Never plunge a cutter into a freehand outline.
Machine the four side vents · Select to enlarge
Use the part drawing to locate both openings on each wall from its front and bottom datums. Finished openings are 5 × 1 inches (127 × 25.4 mm). Their global heights are 1.5–2.5 and 9–10 inches (38.1–63.5 and 228.6–254 mm).
The core opening includes an edge-veneer allowance. Use the core bounds in the drawing, not the finished aperture dimensions, for machining.
Cut a trial first; machine the openings, remove splinters and retain the flat reference faces. Apply the same operation to the opposite wall.
Check before continuing: The two walls match; all four finished apertures will remain clear after edge strips. No void or split runs into a retainer screw land.

Before you begin: H02 is unresolved until actual hinge geometry is measured. The model’s hinge leaves are envelopes, not a drilling template.
Fit the actual hinges on the bench · Select to enlarge
With P06 flat on the bench, centre the completed door using 0.060-inch (1.524 mm) reveal spacers. Place hinge centres at 2.75 and 7.5 inches (69.85 and 190.5 mm) above the case bottom.
Use the received hinge leaves to transfer mortise depth, pin location and screw pattern. A mortise is the shallow pocket that lets the hinge sit at its designed level.
Trial the hinge and screw length on matching stock. Fit the two hinges and swing the supported door through at least 100 degrees without binding or pulling the frame sideways.
Check before continuing: Door moves smoothly, clears the fixed frame and stays aligned. Actual pin axis, screw purchase and service screwdriver access recorded.
Wait / hold: Do not continue on a merely approximate hinge fit.
Before you begin: H03/H05: obtain the converter’s exact compatible adhesive backing, thickness and bond instructions first. Do not install a loose ring or cut a joint at a corner.
Set the continuous door seal · Select to enlarge
Measure foam and backing thickness separately around the perimeter. Target 75% of the free foam thickness plus the uncompressed backing. Bond the one-piece ring to A06 with its specified factory-applied backing; no adhesive edge may remain loose or exposed.
With the door closed and supported flat, fit the ten spacers so A06 supports G01 at that measured gap. Plane safely held oversize spacer stock, then cut individual spacers; seal and fully cure them.
Fit DS screws through clearance holes into P06. Close the door gently and use removable contact-transfer material to check an unbroken impression around the ring. Remove all test material afterward.
Check before continuing: Continuous contact without bending A06, distorting the door or excessively loading the hinges. Actual compression response still requires supplier/prototype confirmation.

This candidate
RESEARCHED
candidate research recorded; H02/H05 product details open
DIMENSIONALLY CHECKED
Bounded checks recorded separately in the dimensional check record; received hardware and seal fit remain held
CALCULATION CHECKED
Mesh/layout/nominal path calculations recorded in the dimensional check record; no strength certification
DIGITALLY VALIDATED
See model, browser and PDF receipts for exact coverage; no physical or animal-use inference
Automated dimensions, render appearance and responsive UI checks are separate from construction, containment testing, animal suitability and publication. The verification record states the exact checks completed. Publication does not close any construction or animal-use hold.
Research limitations and rejected alternatives: construction audit. No universal spider-safe gap was inferred.
