Update

I have finished some more on the Stand and started the Canopy
Sorry for the glare, but turned out to be a really nice warm day.

Here is a picture of what the trim is I'm putting across the top to hide the bottom of the tank.

On the canopy I wanted to make the top lift up so I could change the bulbs easier. But with it being 6' long it was a not that sturdy so I nailed the top down for more support.

oak plywood or did you use oak boards

 

[Boosted Rxp]

nice work

 

[Im Lon 2]

Oak plywood.. Where can you get the Oak Boards.. I would like to do more woodwork But like stupid said I don't have all the good tools. They just keep them at my house because they I know I know how to use them

When I made the base on my 70, I used oak stair steps, ran them down the table saw to remove the rounded edge and it gave me a very nice grain and thickness. Then take them and glue edge to edge using bar clamps.

Got the first coat of stain on

Hoping to have the trim cut this weekend to fit and then I will put it on once the tank gets here. So I can make sure I'm hiding all the trim.

Anyone like doing plumming? I have not really gotten into the 2 - 2" drain and 1 - 1.5" return I have to make go down a floor vent that was turned into a cold air return.
