First DIY cabinet/Stand

[thutton]

Hey,
So the Wife wanted her coffee table back, so me and a buddy built a custom cabinet for my 29g, (75g is next when weather warms up).

Excuse the first couple pics, cell phone pics:




What do you think?

Im a carpenter... You did a good job with your stand hope you use lots of glue.
I like the stain you chose too nice and dark

 

[thutton]

Yep, Glue/Screws wherever they could go, Glue and Nails for the trim parts.

Stain is Red Mahogany it turned out awesome.

Nice job! I have often wanted to build my own stand but due to a complete lack of DIY skills and constant worry of something coming apart I have never done it good luck with the 75g stand!

Grats on the finished job! Looks wonderful.

What type of wood did you use for the cabinet doors?

 

[thutton]

all of the stand other then the shelves inside is pine. the door inlays are pine plywood which has a much more visible grain
