![]() So i finally went and got the stand and the glass for the doors today. Put in the glass but one of the pieces was cut a half inch too big, dont know how that happened.
Got the tank levelled, glued up the plumbing returns, and started filling it up. The stand i made out of 3/4" maple plywood, the top is a double layer of 3/4", its sitting on a toekick made of 3/4" plywood. Base is wrapped in maple solid stock 1x4. The doors are made out of 1x4 solid stock that i milled a profile onto and put some glass into a rabbit cut i put in the back. The false drawer fronts I made out of 1x6 solid stock and milled a profile to match the doors. It is finished with a stain, then glaze, then laquer, lots of work but maple is tough to stain evenly and this process works great. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So now Im just going to let the tank settle for the night and hopefully by this weekend get it drained and fill it with RO water with a little salt in it. Any feedback is welcome. |
