Hey Everyone,

Doing a stand build for a Client in the Woodlands TX just though I'd share a few photos if anyone wanted to get ideas from it.

Thanks for all the compliments !!

Nice job!!! How big of a tank is this stand for?/QUOTE]

the footprint of the stand is 60W x 28D x 36H
dont know how high the tank is so i couldn't tell ya how many gallons.

Very nice, are the doors and corner peaces 1/2" plywood ?/QUOTE]

The whole stand is made out of 3/4 red oak Ply. and to answer future questions...no there are no worries is regards to the weight...LOL.

Looking great!! Where did you get the hinges from?/QUOTE]

thanks!...1/2 in. overlay concealed. Home Depot

I dont think his customer would be to happy with plywood doors/QUOTE]

Thats what he wanted. the option for all hard wood red oak was offered and was over double the $$$$.. guess it was not in the budget. I assured him there would be no issue in regards to weight handling.

Good to see you are still doing stands - Staten Island's loss is Texas' gain. Good Luck Buddy!/QUOTE]

Hey! Thanks, Hope all is well with you.. I'm pretty much doing this and custom woodworking full time now...and LOVING IT!!! did a few stands and guess its true what they say..everything is bigger in Texas...it seems everyone here has a 180 gal tank or bigger....no 55 gallons here...lol

love the stand and the poster on the background!!!/QUOTE]

LOL Thanks!! Me too!!!! first thing that went up in my new Man Cave...lmao!!

Love the use of Pocket Holes, very clean.

Are you painting or staining?

Wish I had enough space/time to build more stuff, I just love building stuff since I was a kid.

thanks! Staining a red Mahogany with a satin clear finish. Got a chance to stain the stand yesterday...very Humid here...still wet..:-(
