John,
You definitely do nice work. Gary's tank is going to be well encased.

Thanks all I am so stressed over this I don't want to lose anything in the move. and I want everything to be perfect. And I also feel for Gary he has it 100x worse than I.

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

I worked on the doors for the Stand today. I will post the pics of them tomorrow. After that I just need to stain add the moldings and she awaits the Tank. Canopy needs to be stained and when I deliver my 125 to Jerry I can install the lighting in the new canopy.

 

[zanclus]

Well the doors are on, ready for stain!!!!!!

[kase]

nice..can't wait to see up and running..good luck with everything..post some pics..i mean a lot..it like drug..lol

 

[zanclus]

Stand is all ready for the stain.....

I ended the molding short on the one side because I am building a marching cabinet on that side.

On the canopy I am also toying with the idea to put the cross pieces on or leave them off

 

[Stephany]

Can you decide about the cross pieces after you stain? That's what I would do.
It's coming along beautifully....

How many cups a coffee you drinking? You're moving fast!!
