Building 180 gallon stand in class

[Planteman]

My teacher reccomended that I get plans for building this instead of trying to wing it. So before I went ahead and bought the plans online I was wondering if anyone had suggestions or plans themselves. I was planning to download from http://www.aquarium-stand-plans.com/180_gallon_aquarium_stand_plan.htm

I was planning to build it out of oak and needs to be at least 72 1/2" L x 24 1/2" W and the height isn't such a big factor to me.

Thanks in advance.

i'd just go with the standard 30" height. why not just think of what you really want out of a stand and start from there. what you need plans for?

Garf.org has free plans

It's listed under 'calculators'... There are others too.

Make sure you take pix and post here...'Cause we're going to grade you too!

Plan on posting pictures as time goes on but I probably won't start for another 2-3 weeks. I still have to buy lumber and figure out plans with my teacher.

Need plans for just the basic step-by-step way on how to build a stand and canopy. I found some at the website I used in my first post. But before I went ahead and bought it I was looking for some suggestions. I plan on using the 180 gallon wide from glasscages.com.

You rock!

I always built jewelry boxes in shop class

Decided to try and make some plans of my own. My shop teacher liked them and I wanted to see what you guys thought. Let me know if they show up or not.
