Thanks for the kudos guys.

If you keep working at the rate you have been allready this will be done in 11 days easy.

For me this part of the build is the easy part. The tough part will be on the weekend when I have to get the fiber glass in, I'm not looking forward to that part at all
There won't be much progress tomorrow though....I'm taking the day off to go fishing.

I'll post some photos of today's progress soon.

Here's the photos of today's work.

I had a piece of 3/4" ply left over from one of the side and it was JUST big enough for me to use it as the top of the tank/brace. This saved me around $35 if I had to buy another 3/4" plywood sheet

After the top was done I filled all the holes and gaps with 2 pack epoxy putty. I'll sand all thiese smooth before applying the fiber glass.

looking good and I'm definetly glad to see someone go with better wood on a plywood build. too often you see peopel use osb which breaks down when wet so I hope they don't plan on spilling at all during WC lol

yours is strong looking and a nice shape, just seems like it'll be a permanent part of the apt when it's done though lol.

Here's the photos of today's work.

I have a friend who builds Timber-Frame homes. I have been playing with a design that would take advantage of some of the beam cutoffs, etc. he has for a large wooden tank.

This thread has been absolutely inspirational. I really like the way this tank is coming together. I hope you leave most of the framing exposed on the outside.

What sort of resin are you going to use to wet out the fiberglass? I would be carefuly about using polyester in an apartment if that's what you have in mind. I would find a laminating epoxy instead.

I may be too high to operate the video camera, but I'll try

My buddy (helper) came around tonight and had a look at the tank for the first time and he thinks it will be an easy job. We will apply 2 coats of fiber glass to the whole inside and then I'll apply a couple of extra coats of resin.
