I never want to build any more doors in my lifetime....

Had to build my own vent, didn't want some crappy metal one

I just realized I need to water that plant....

I coated the stand in minwax urethane

Built the sides to pop out for easy glass cleaning on the 4th side

It looks like you've got some sort of removable back privacy panel. Can you show us some details on how that works?

 

[mgers21]

Thanks for all the comments guys!

I'm glad I paid attention in wood shop!


The screen is a motorized projection screen that I built my own brackets to fit and just turned it around. The black you can see is just the back of the screen. For the white trim on the bottom I ran a piece of trim through the table saw to inlay the black material then stapled it from the back side. After that was all stapled I used some sticky-backed lead weights I found at the hobby store and put them on the back to smooth out the transition from the up position back into the tracks that the trim slides in. Not sure if that makes any sense to you guys but it does to me haha

Motorized projection screen.... Very cool. We need a video posted of that!

A few updates:

Found my first hitchhiker....I think I'll keep it :3195::3195:

we decided to jump in when it was fresh water tested....tank took a few days to fill with rodi and turned the system on, NO LEAKS!!:3195: As of tonight I'm trying to stabilize temp and get the salinity up. I washed the sand in rodi before putting it into the tank. Also I got some 5/8th food grade poly sheeting I cut to fit the bottom of the tank. I layed that down before putting the sand into the tank as some protection for the bottom glass.

Heres a few updated fishroom pics

how much bud lite you dosing a day and what type food you feeding to keep her smiling?

 

[Btortorelli]
