any one with carpenter skills? i need a hood and will donate for help

[godlyme]

im in need of a hood for my 72 gal bow... but apparently thats nearly impossible to find at a decent price... i would like to have a bare wood one built. if anyone has any carpenter or design skills it would be much appreciated and compensated. either hook me up with an easy to build design that i can do my self with nill tools. or make me one and i can pay for parts and labor.. and also give free frags once coral starts to grow.. it may be a simple box for a carpenter to make.... i did find one example..but with no dimensions http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/z28cam/img_0109.jpg

What are the dimensions you are looking for. Lenght, width height of canopy? What type of wood, Oak.

the tank is an all glass 72 gal bow front. dimensions are 48 1/2 " across wih 13 inch long on the sides. and 18 inches long in the middle of the bow from frony to back. i figured 11 inches high with roughly a 1 /12 inch lip around so the hood would over hang slightly. any type of wood would be fine for me..im going to slab alot of black paint on it. would be nice to have a semi open back and a fan hole on each side....

this is what im thinking , except with a a little more openings in the back for hang on equipment... what do you think?

uhmmm

i'm selling mine sometime towards the end of this month...

not sure if I'm seperating them yet though (stand/tank/skirt)

Here's the way we did mine, it's open here, normally there are 4 panels in the front, so you cant see through, nor can you be blinding by the MH. Dont mind the ugliness of the tank; at the time, we had just got a LR order in.
