75 gallon DIY stand

[jworth]

Not yet complete. I know when I asked about treated 4x4s for the stand a few people asked for pics. I still have wood filler sticking out in some places and its not yet sanded or stained.

and yes my cabinets are about 1/16" off but not real obvious and my miter saw didnt work well for splicing the corners for the trim but i used my jig saw to cut flush and filled with wood filler and will sand and stain and look just fine.

let me know what you think so far.

I think you and I went to the same stand-building school. Moldings to hide any screwups, and lots of wood putty. We even used the same plywood

Nice looking stand. I'm one of those guys that used 4x4s in the corners for my 75G stand. It's built like a Abrams Tank, there is no way that stand will fail. It was designed that way to be Great Dane proof as I was afraid of a inadvertent bump from mine that would send it to the floor. Also, there were some minor changed from the plans, however all the main construction was the same.
