OK.. now most times people talk about DIY fish tank stands they start by going to the local hardware store and buying some plywood and lumber. Fair enough.
But if you were a real dedicated DIYer then you would go and cut your own lumber
OK.. thats my other hobby
First off.. go and find an unwanted tree. Best to check it's not something rare or the last of the Amazon rain forest. This is a big old Monterey cypress growing on a friends farm. They were planted many years ago as shelter trees on local farms. Now they are overgrown, huge, falling over etc and need to be removed.
OK.. so you have a tree.
Break out the chainsaw and have at it.
Kids - dont try this at home
OK.. so you have this huge tree on the ground....
Well.. best to start trimming the branches off, bucking the tree into sensible sized logs and getting them set up for sawing.
OK.. having a digger working on the site makes life a whole lot easier. Wish I had one of my own
