108 Tank Stand

[Newfe]

Here a a couple of new pics. I am going to cover it tomorrow. It might look a little overboard and ugly, but its the first stand I have built. I am learning as I go.

Thanks for the help folks.

It might look a little overboard and ugly, but its the first stand I have built.

Looks great so far. Nothing ugly about it.

This gave me some food for thought, nice wine fridge/cooler.

looks beefy, not ugly...take your time skining, trimming and paint / staining...that'a what counts now

I was hoping to get it all covered today, didn't workout that way. The wife suggested I use pin wick pine to cover it for 3 reasons.

1. Its cheap.
2. It looks good
3. She could be a widow if I spend too much money.

So pine it is.

It's covered, I have made 2 doors so far. 1/4" pine held together with 1"x2" strapping. I am going to put some trim on the door face, not sure what yet. Then I will trim the stand. Then it will be time to start the canopy.

Finished the rest of doors today. Starting to take shape.

Finished the trim today. Trim here is very expensive, Example: 1" corner molding $22 for a 8' length. I cut a piece of the pine, I used to cover the stand to 3/4" for the bottom trim and 2.5" for the top trim. This saved me about $50. Still looks ok.
