My mate made this 2 person video game machine out of one.
From memory the electronics/screen CPU was not that expensive and came with dozens of old school video games as standard.

Budgie Aviary
Many, many years ago, I made a budgie aviary from a slightly larger cable reel.
Technique was:
- Slipped reel over old rotary clothes line post - pre Hills Hoist; I said it was old - this placed the aviary above cat height!
- removed one of the central boards and put nest boxes and perches in interior,
- More perches, water and food containers outside,
- "Canary" wire around outside, plus a door, and
- Tin roof.
Used it for about ten years, then we moved - eleven times!

How do you form the angle into circular shapes ?
I’ve used a sheet metal Shrinker or stretcher to do up to about 1.6mm but you’re bending thicker than that.

Thanks
Just out of interest how would you shape angle with the vertical on the inside.
With it on the outside I guess you could hammer stretch.
