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.

Jeff that stand is beyond great, it is fantastic!
No BS, you are doing yourself proud & you can make me a stand anytime

You could always do a Crown molding surround that sits on the top of the tank, but is open on top ... and then carry the pattern on the shelves. It would make a nice tie-in between the tank & shelves.

Can't wait to see the final stained edging ... Excellent work!
