My 40 Breeder Custom Stand Build

[calcnerd]

It's almost impossible to find a stand for a 40 breeder around me. I found one place and it was almost $300 so I decided to build my own.

The beginning:

Drawers built:

Doors on & skinned with oak ply:

Broke down for stain:

Time for about 15 coats of Polyurethane (I'm messy with water changes):

Fish handles on drawers:

Turtles on the cabinets:

Wow... nice job.

What's the total cost of the stand?

 

[romanjetfighter]

wow, your craftsmanship is incredible...

stands for 40B are on petco.com, just search for the 50/65, it has the same footprint as the 40B

130ish

It cost me around that same price with materials, but I think mine looks better anyways

Great job!
I'm looking to do one for my 40b here soon too.

Your craftsmanship is great..What type of wood did you use? It looks like burch? And did you build the doors too?
