Another Plywood Build, for my bass
- Thread starter Bassinkorea
- Start date
I got a few more hours work on the build today.
Now that the stand part is done, it was time to start on the tank part of the build today
I screwed and glued 2 x 3/4" plywood sheets as the bottom. Then I fitted the front glass frame using a LOT of screws and glue.
Here's some photos....

Thanks, but this will be the last progress for a few days. Saturday and Sunday are family days, but I'll get back into it on Monday.
Looking beastly! I love it
It's going to definitely be the most noticeable thing in your house I'm sure

Thanks for all the kind words guys
I got some good progress done in the last couple of days.
Yesterday I bought my gel coat and a few other things, and got the smaller window frame glued and screwed into place.
Then today I got the 2 plywood sides installed and the structural supports 95% complete before I ran out of time and battery power in my cordless drill, but overall I am pleased with the progress and the way it is looking at the moment.
Tomorrow I will cut and fit the top 3/4" sheet that will be a splash frame and double brace to stop (or reduce) the bowing. That should be all the main wood work complete and I will be filling all screw holes and small gaps with 2 part epoxy putty.
On the weekend I have a friend coming around to help me with the fiber glassing, he has done fiber glassing a ton of times, which is good because I have never done it before
