180 FOWLR build DIY LEDs, stand, canopy, and sump (kinda)

[schooleyosis]

I was going to ask if you had the exact length of wire between each series of LED's as well. But definitely one more LED on one series makes sense... Can't wait to see this all finished up. Are you done yet? LOL!

Here is the canopy completed minus the doors. I have to build the doors and then it's sanding and staining time.

The grain in the wood is going to look awesome once it's stained!

That's if my wife hadn't picked espresso stain which will probably cover up the grain.

Thanks man. I should have the canopy doors done tonight so that I can start sanding and staining tomorrow.

I wanted to show you how I built the doors. Here are some pics of some of the steps I took to make the stiles and rails and cut grooves in them to fit the panels, and also cut the stiles to make joints to glue them together.

Here they are dry fitted to give you an idea how they piece together.
