Thanks for the compliments.
As for the cost, I have $625 in it. If I had not used oak and maybe poplar or some other clear wood species like a clear pine I could have saved about a $150 I guess. the doors were I HUGH savings from the place I linked to, my own cabinet shop wanted well more then I gave and I build several homes a year with them?

Lantz, Dude.. I just saw a guy that could be your twin. Any relatives in NY state?
Will the canopy be flush with the ceiling? (ala crown moulding)

is there a rule of thumb as to how tall he canopy has to be in relation to the stand? lets say the stand was 28"tall. How tall does the canopy have to be? because i know if it's to tall it would look dumb lol.
lol, I get that all the time but yes we have relatives in NY.Lil_Stinker;3468235; said:
This is going in a greatroom that has 20' ceilings so no it wont be flush.
"Rule of thumb" not that Im aware of. I guess it would look "dumb" in a old house with 8' ceilings. thanks for asking...........
The stand is 36" tall and I have 15" doors on the canopy to allow room for everything to be loaded and unloaded through the doors without removing the canopy. as stated above it will be in proportion to the room its going into that has 20' ceilings. all the custom stands and canopy's that I looked at built by cabinet shops had large canopy's with large crown molding, I reduced the size of the crown some and put 3" larger doors.
Definitely didn't want this:
Finally ready to start setting her up! 
Im going to bring it in the house today (once I get some help to lift the tank up onto the stand)
I put the project on hold for a week.
My mom had a mild heart attack a week ago they found 5 arteries clogged so they did bypass surgery the next day, amazingly she came home yesterday! I am still amazed how fast they had her walking (next day) then discharged.

Very very nice work. Are you sure you want this in your guestroom. I would want something that beautiful in my living room. Can't wait to see it all set up
