You really should be proud of that stand. I am 39 and have dabbled in woodworking for about, as long as I can remember, and It takes me as long to plan things out as it took for your finished project! Dang Nice!

Again-

Sweet Stand! Good Job, Well Done!

That thing looks strong enough that you could park a truck on top of it!

Envy is a dangerous thing! :grinno:

Nice place for the tank too...Right in plain view and away from the daycare!

Yeh, I've put this tank in my room so i can just shut the door while mum is looking after the little kids, and then open it when they all leave while leaves the tank in plain view through the door while where're in the living room

Been a while since an update got a busy with uni and work to find the time to get materials and do some work.

but anyway heres a small update (was hoping for a bigger one but my old mans on night shift so cuts down the time i can spend working with him sleepin in the arvos.

I've pritty much got all the skinning pieces cut, just need to make a hole in the back for the power point to stick through and cut out the door holes. After that its just a matter of nailing all the skins to the stand and getting the wood for the door frames, top lip and bottom kick panels.

I also included a rough pic of what my place is for a filter system at this time
