Magnificent. Outstanding work. I like how you simplified the construction of the stand. I hope mine will turn out half as nice.
Thank you Joe! I just followed your design for the frame and built a stand for my 240 I found on craigslist...I still have to finish up the doors and trim then paint but Im hoping to get it up and running by the weekend. Extremely solid frame! Pics to follow...
Here you go...I had to get it up and running while I had helpers available to get it in the house so the doors still havnt been installed yet. They are cut and routered but I still have to primer, paint and install. I also have all the wood ready to build the hood but also due to time constraints and needing to get my Armatus out of his temporary living quarters I'm going to put that off until after the holidays.

sorry about the late reply guys!! been ceeerazy busy!
when it comes to staining the only thing i can suggest is make sure you seal all the bare wood, i have a door on the canopy warping , but i knew they would just have not had the time to seal them so now i have to replace them on the canopy, oh well live and learn i guess haha
