Just a few shots of my recent build. Almost have it finished.
Sorry for some of the crappy cellphone shots.

2x4s and 3/4" ply.

After all this I then decided I need the 3.5" of space the bottom 2x4s were taking so I knocked them out and added a plywood bottom instead.

Looks great how much $ in wood and materials?

Quick calculations in my head says just under $200 everything. That includes sandpaper and sanding belts, glue, screws and a new $40 blade for the chopsaw. The doors I got on the cheap at Habitat For Humanity's Re-store. (Damn I love that freakin place)LOL, and paint was free. My brother bought a new hose this year and found about 10 half gallon cans of paint in the basement. We just mixed 2 of the different greens till we came up with a color I thought was nice. Now after getting all the finished mouldings on and painted,(LOL) I've decided I'd like to make it a darker green. So hopefully tomorrow's coat of paint will be the last. Then I can get started on the DIY 3D background.

New tank for the stand.

LOL. No, it's Habitat For Humanity's store. They take in donated used building materials and sell them to help finance their operations. Ie: The building of homes for people in need. It's a great charity, and you can find some awesome deals on used, and sometimes new building materials. Everything you can think of, including the kitcher sink,LOL. I usualy check there before going to The Home Depot.
