Super cheap new Stand

[aaron]

Here's a couple of pictures of my latest project- the new stand for my 36 Gal bowfront. Total cost about $60
Now all I have to do is go and get the tank

Very nice Aaron! When I need a stand done, I'll keep you in mind.

Nice! But I don't see any holes for plubing!

before you cut holes in it let me know, I have a set of fortsner bits so you can make nice perfect holes. I also have some large hole saw bits if needed.

what kind of hinges did you use?

 

[aaron]

They are a concealed hinge that is kind of triangular and fits over the top and bottom edges of the door. Its a bit hard to explain but much easier to install than regular hinges.
I bought them at Design Source on the bowery.
I might take you up on the hole saws John.

I've used those in the past, they work well.

let me know when you need them, my tools are kind of spread out right now, some in the shop, some at home, my parents house, and whatever job I'm working on.
