Thanks for the praise guys you all are too kind!
Got started on the maple trim work on the top of my stand. Also decided today that I am not going the canopy route. I will be going to the ceiling with some shelves above the light. Now I need to start doing some drawings again to figure this one out.
Here is a shot of the area the maple top plate is going.
Starting of fitting the peices together.
This is a shot of a completed corner before routing and securing it down.
Couple of shots of a completed corner, this still has to be nailed down.
Once complete I will be applying a tung oil to bring out the grain then applying a waterproof urathane. Also there will be one more moulding that will cover up the base of the tank totaly. Not sure if I will buy this or will make it myself.'
I should have this complete tomorrow during the day. Then I will be starting the top portion.
