@DustinB - Great job. You have a very clean and modern look. Do you have a build thread?

 

[DustinB]

I do have a build thread, but its on my local club's forum. Not sure if I'm allowed to link to that or not.

Awesome! thanks for the info. and that picture shows the color matching of the floor with the stand. Great attention to detail.

Thanks! It's been a labor of love.

Nice clean design. Can you explain the function of the tall tank back? I'm intrigued.

Completed:

Wait a minute, isn't that an IKEA piece?

Looks good, very versatile, and if it's not IKEA, you should well the design to them!

The tall back is an overflowing return. Lookup DSA Neo Nano. This is a newer style of it I think.

Hey there RC, Great Thread!

I'm currently building a stand for a 180- that I put a C2C overflow on.

My frame is built- basically per RocketEngineers design, with very few mods.
I'm now trying to decide how I want to finish it.

In looking thru this thread, and the original split-

I came across this really cool design- very simple, virtually no trim, etc.

I've tried to contact him, but I found a thread where he sold this for $100! back in 2012!

I'm attaching one of the photos form his post on this thread in 2008.

If you think about it though, I don't see where the skin would resist 'racking', as so many of the finishing skins do.

Here's mine so far:





If you know him, or have input, etc. please PM, or post.

Thanks,
Todd

Bump,
Anyone know of this stand, have it, etc.?

Please comment on the 'racking' or lack thereof finishing it like this may produce.

Ta daaaa!!!!!!

 

[OzarksReef]

79chopperdr - very nice! Did you skin the stand with the tank set up? Any plans for painting or staining?

 

[79chopperdr]

Ozark, we did skin it with the tank running. My brother the finish carpenter did the work for me. I'm going to start painting it today. It will be time consuming but I will be able to get it protected.

Thanks

This is one I built from a pic I seen maybe on here! I used all red oak and egg&dart trim with a granite top. Its still not quite finished it needs doors put on but the hard part is done lol

I just finished this stand tonight. I think it's FANCY... in a slim/modern way.

I like modern looking furniture. Great looking stand!

Nice work for doing on-site with tank in place.
Should look really nice painted up.

Has any complaints been filed about trying to keep the few inches of carpet clean yet?
