If you're like me and think it is crazy to spend $150 or more on a simple stand for a tank that is not the rite size and will not( for the most part) be scene? Then this just might be what you need.
I am not a carpenter but I do know a little about it. I don't have an electric screw-driver or a chop saw or even a square. I do have a hand saw, corded drill, and some hand tools. I also have a skill saw but the blade is old and rusty( also the kickback scares the hell out of me).
First things first, blue-prints. I looked for some basic ones on the web and the best I could do was some big tank tank stands. I just used the basic design for an idea and made it to the dementions I needed.
(I am also not an artist)
I went to the home depot and got what I needed; six 2"X4"($1.98 each), one 3/4 4'X8' ply board(17.something), one 3/4 4'X2' MDF(9ish), and hardware(about 15 bucks). The hardware I got was some larger wood screws for the upper and lower frame, small corner brackets, and a box of two inch wood screws.
