Thanks guys! The pics really don't do the stand justice. The dark stain doesn't let the camera pick up on the details very well.
It will look significantly different once I get the doors on.
I have a local cabinet maker that does a great job and I hope to get them within a week or so. I don't have the tools to make nice raise panel doors.
The tank itself will be ready in a week, unless any unforeseen circumstances arise.
I'll start another thread once I get the stand and tank in place.
Thanks again for all the compliments. They make all the hard work and time worth while. This was a lot of fun, mostly, and I'm glad I did it.
I will seal the inside sometime this week.
Someone asked me about tools. I do have a power miter saw, a small table saw, a pocket hole jig, and a finish nail gun that I used to put all this together. But, as I said, I'm not a professional carpenter, I just dabble in it every now and then. I built this stand from a vision in my head, no plans, only dimensions I knew I needed to stay at for the tank, and it turned out just as I hoped.
no rush or any thing
