Not sure if it's "fancy," but it's my first attempt at a DIY stand. Bottom is 3/4" ply and the top is 1/2". The tank is currently cycling, so I've left the top door off until I get my lights and what not in there.

Looks sweet to me!!!! Except there's some dude in your tank!!!! :lol:


P.S. I see there's a little captain in you!!!!

That is the most beautiful stand I have ever seen. I just wish I had that wood working skill.

Wow.... what a thread! Spent HOURS reading.... there is many talented people out here!

So interesting... had no interesting in plumbing, wood working, ballasts and other aspects of lighting, and electrical until i entered this hobby....

some incredible stands. Might have to rebuild mine!

Utterly jealous of a lot of people on here. Can't wait to start my new build. My ten gallon is sitting on a side table at the monent. I kinda regret having bought a bowfront because of the extra challenge in the wood cutting. But maybe that's a good thing.

Here is one I just finished up for a client. The picture quality is not the best.

They wanted the tank to sit flush so I trimmed it out with a little piece of poplar.

And here is a whole set I finished up last summer.

This is really nice. I wish you could come down and make one for my bowfront.

Great Job. What kind of wood is that for the top piece? This really is a nice stand. Very well done.

Sorry for the really late response, everything is done in red oak stained with linseed oil. Thanks for the compliments!

I love the peninsula stand! It is very sleek and I think the inset doors look really good. Fantastic work!

I really like the finish on this - looks like a satin or matte black.

What did you use?

Thanks!

Finally able to show mine!

Finally able to show mine!

I've been waiting quite some time to post my stand and canopy on here.
The stand was built in August of '11 and the canopy was finished a couple of months later.
But it took me until about now to finally get my 120gal upgrade to be running and look, somewhat, presentable.

I'm a definitely an Arts and Crafts junkie, inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and Greene and Greene.
Slowly (very slowly), converting the rest of my home to match this style.

Someday soon, I'll try to get a build thread put together as I took photos throughout much of the construction and set-up.

Jason, I have been working wood for many years, and I must say this is one of the best designs I have seen to date!!
I will be "for sure" following your build!!
The Arts & Craft design add so much depth and caricature to any piece.

 

[PistolShrmp]

Jlanger, that is a fantastic build.

 

[laugh]

Close the thread, we have a winner.

This is fantastic. Beautiful work. Only thing, rimless tank would really take the whole thing to another level. JMO.

 

[Sisterlimonpot]

That's amazing, I love the wood grain, It looks like quarter sawn but it's not. How did you do the darker color (black)? Is it paint or a dark stain?

:eek1: WOWZERS!!! :eek1:​

Your stand is simply incredible! I love the granite, all the trim/woodwork, the black inlays, etc. This thread is filled with amazing stands, but yours might just be my favorite stand yet. Bravo :thumbsup:




edit: Gotta agree with Mark54321, if the tank was rimless, it would take it to another level. You wouldn't even need to fill it with water and stock it with fish and coral to be one of the upcoming tank of the months, lol.
