Hello...
I been researching for about five months now and finally the project has begun. Hope you enjoy!
Any advice or feedback would be helpful.
I was recently under the username, mtown, to anyone who finds the pics familiar
The first three pics are my 29g stand's framing. I used 2x4 spruce wood nailed together with 3" wood screws.
The last pic is the framing all covered up. The 29g tank is resting on top. I used a very cheap type of plywood which cost me about 17$ for a 4x8 sheet. I got exact pieces cut by home depot which cost me NOTHING! even though it costs 1$ per cut. The doors are made out of 3/4" MDF wood which hardly matches the rest of the stand. The trimming was 1x3 maple wood nailed in with finishing nails. I also filled up gaps & holes with a small bucket of wood filler and putty knife.
Currently I'm staining the stand with a 2nd coat using the superior miniwax brand stain so I'll update you with new pics pretty soon.
