I hope you are happy. I think I dehydrated myself working on this today. I am taking a break...then I will try and finish up the wood work today. I still need to route everything, sand and stain, and drill holes for the fans.
Here is what it looks like so far.

that's a short stand. how big is that tank?

 

[Rendos]

The tank is 24"X20"X20" or somewhere close to that.
Here are some updated pics.

Still not done yet....SOON!

 

[joeycadre]

that's pretty cool. is it a tabletop or something? i mean it's going to be sitting on something, right?

 

[Rendos]

Countertop at the store.

Getting a sump in that stand is going to be a real booger

 

[joeycadre]

yeah i think you're gonna have to use a litter box for a sump.

It was originally set-up so Jason and Patrick could see inside it without a step stool.

I need a stand like that so my wife can enjoy the tank.

 

[Rendos]

Update...I got 2 coats of stain on today, and will poly it in the next week.

I hope you like it.

Richard, can I get you to build a cabinet for me too? I would build it myself, but I'd rather have something that didn't look like a product of Jethro Bodine on a Jagermeister binge.

And that's a bad thing?

 

[DrPeaches]

Well the more I think about it, no. In fact a binge might be just what I need to face the upcoming week at work. Since it's a government job, no one should mind.

Still, my artistic and carpentry skills are just below the typical kindergartener. And my wife won't let me play with the powertools anymore.

I think I will drive instead of fly this week. At least until you sober up!!

Richard,
2 weeks ago you said you were "taking a break". I still don't see any fan holes. What's the hold up?:rollface:
