I recently bought a 20G high for breeding convicts, and the first thing I wanted to do was build a proper stand for it. I decided to make the stand slightly taller, and use it as a bookcase as well. I made the plans in sketchup, but changed them slightly.
Design:
Ignore the hood, I am trying to figure out how to incorporate my incredibly cheap under cabinet light fixture. I have not started building the hood yet.
Current Progress:
I still have to add the trim, doors, and few other middle pieces.
Everything is Pine 1" x 2" or 1"x6" (sideboards)
The polyurethane is drying on the trim and other pieces, so I can add those when they are ready.
The lumber cost about $15.00 for everything, and already had the plywood, stain, and polyurethane. Combination of brads, wood glue, and staples holding it together.
Its level, I just can't hold the camera straight.
