As long as it's not a hairy back, I think we're all good with that.
The .. um .. wood is looking good man. I can't believe I just said that. What has this hobby become.

Two guys and some major wood! Nice! And here I thought this build was kinda boring.

Cabinets are going to look good, birch is a nice choice - and I'd guess a lot easier to work with than the hard white maple I went with, that stuff was bulletproof...

Made some progress on the wood, here is a few shots so far/.....
Going with the mission style I like it simple. going to stain with a walnut stain. now is here is problem. I have to wait 2 weeks for the birch wood to come in to make the doors. However Dwayne showed me some maple that i can mix with it so i stained them both and I will get you a pic uploaded so you can see the difference. the maple is a bite lighter, however I can do another coat or 2 on it.  Here is the 15" shelf tower with adjusting shelves I will be cutting out a feeding hole and a Vortech hole so I can move the powerhead around.  Looking down this baby is 12' 3" long and 83" high   looking at the front  here is a size comparsion for ya. I think it's turning out pretty good so far.   I'm hoping to stain the whole stand by this weekend and caulk around the seams in the right tower where the sump and Skimmer is going to be. may be next week to start filling it

 Cabinetry looking great so far. So, I'm curious though, how is it going to be moved from the workshop into where it's going to go? Does it come apart fairly easily?
