Welp took a lot of y'all advice and finally get around to trying to make an internal framed cage and well... Think I'll call this one a learning experience

Thai bender off Amazon a few of y'all recommend made bending that 1/4" a breeze

The frame wasn't too hard to weld up but the wire part.... Yeah didn't think about how the wire would lay in the frame in conjunction with how I'd ring it on...also don't think about how I really need more space between the ring runners and the outside frame , so can't even attach the wire to the front crazy.... Could probably use if for squirrels or something I guess laugh hopefully the next few aren't as crappy

Looks like smaller rings might drop better.

A little outside the "box" but for a tinkerer like you, might be easier to just make it round.

Maybe make it round and then put a board in the bottom and smash the floor flat... then come up with some ends.

Use some annealed #14 wire to wrap the wire to the frame in front.
