thanks for the invatation BUT I don't ever want to work with acrylic again unless I have lots of room and a really big table and a good tablesaw (Powermatic #66) with a big table around it and of course router, bits, wooden squares blah blah blah. I was a cabinet maker by trade before what I am doing now and wood can be sanded again and some mistakes can be hid but not acrylic:eek:

Thanks for the confidence boost. I have made one cabinet that is out in the open...it is decent...especially considering the wood had been sitting outside under a tarp for about...10 years. (Dont worry, this was just used for paneling.) :D

didnt mean to dicourage you about doing this, it definantly can be done but carefully even for us novices:D
 
When the time comes if you are willing I would like to be in touch just for walk through stuff...its going to be a pretty big tank, and its on grant money, so I would really like to do it right the first time ha.
