well I have the stand done stained with 3 coats of varathane. the stain is a custom stain that i Picked out its Coffee stain.... no not COFFEE..
the pic doesn't do the stand justice..
the stand will be just a stand with the access from the side that is hidden with a secret door
the stand will sit againt the wall and accessed from the back for the sump..
here is the stand from the back, its not much but as you can see its amazing what a bot of trim work can do.....
I have the corners at a 90 degree angle.... I was surprized on how good i got them to be even....
I'm still debating if Im going to have a hood on the top of the stand...
and have the top open on the top of the hood for heat to get out.....
