how to make an egg incubator and is a thermostat needed?

I want too start on a egg incubator project, and don't know where to start. I want to know the plans and the tools and supplies needed or recommended websites on building egg incubators. I want a simple and cheap incubator. i would buy one, but this way is more rewarding. is installing a hot water thermostat a must for a homemade egg incubator or is it a option. how do you install a thermostat anyways? PS I'm planning on hatching ducks once this is built.

3. Wow, what a great project. I have pasted a link below which has plans for an egg incubator. I also pasted a link to duck incubating instructions. The third link is an incubator thermostat for sale. No need for me to repeat, all the info is there. You are going to have a great time. I have done this before and it's fun. Best of luck to you.. Quack Quack!
