![]() My stand skeleton is not pretty but you can park a truck on it. Built my own door panels out of Birch and Oak trim. Very simple but looks good in my living room and the wife approves.
![]() ![]() Have built several other stands for a few other members as well. Not to mention a sweet light ring for reefwars ![]()

![]() I welded the hinges to the stand and then screwed it to the doors. 2 hinges per door they are a 1 1/2" gate style hinge and the door are fairly light. Here is a picture of the right side door. I have doors on the ends as well.
