DIY Stand and Canopy (Intense Pictures)

[eidillitih]

Well I recently sold my 210 and decided to down grade. Yea, I said down grade. While everyone is looking to upgrade. Well I went smaller and decided on the 140 by Oceanic. I have not bought it yet, waiting to finish the Stand and Canopy. Well now I'm about there. I want to update you guys on my progress and see what ya think. The tank is 48X24X29 and the tank will sit at 37 inches high. I would have went higher but 29 inches deep will be tough enough.

I'll just post all the pictures of my progress from start to where I'm at now

What ya think?

One question should I put a center brace in the front? If I do I'm going to make it removeable with pocket screws.

Wow!!!! Really nice job man. As for the front brace, if you can make it removable, I would put it there just in case. You never can be too careful in this hobby.

Dentil molding is sweet.

excellent wood working skills--that is going to be beautiful once finished and stained. i especially like the attention to all the details like the matching molding on the stand and canopy.
