I've seen your nicely made products on another thread, you should think about starting your own brand/company -- can call it something like 'Pallets for Pellets'That's good income! I'll be building pallet boxes after my prelim exams, people pay good money and I have the tools to manufacture them fairly quickly. Takes less than 2 hours per box, probably less now with a table saw
I like the name. I'll be upgrading from a jigsaw and nails to a tablesaw and screws. Should go much quicker with less fuss, took two hours a piece last time. Once the wood is chopped down from the pallets which does take a while construction is quick and easy though
Knowing your way with wood really helps in this hobby. My dad helped me build this stand that I use for some 15 gallon tanks and orchids. I also built the light unit on my aquascape which seems to work well enough for growing a compact carpet! The orchid lighting is the newest addition as I recently acquired a few new plants so had to work on something bigger. The 15W LED is phenomenal for growth. To cover the scape I cut acrylic which is lined with aluminium U bar (Hot glued in
) to keep it from flexing and it seems to work well enough 
I don't usually have too much to post about tbh. My tanks aren't all so amazing at the moment, but I'll share my scape that's eaten my wallet:
What’s the leafy bush thing right in the middle? There are two of them.
Also nice carpet. Glosso?
Also nice carpet. Glosso?
It's some sort of micro sword species, and the carpet is Monte carlo
