Building my stand

[Kunkymonkel]

So I started building up the stand for my custom rimless. Let me know what you think.

[George Lopez]

Looks nice. 1x4? And what did you use to trim? I'm planing a build soon myself

lovely. what size is that tank?

It’s a custom rimless holds about 38 gallons

Ya I used 1x4 and 1x6 on a doubled up frame. There are two frames, one inside the other then the are glued and screwed together.

Nice work! I really like the look of having a lip around the tank. Gives you a place to set things down too.

What finish are you going to put on it?

What did you use for the door trim? Looks good. I haven't been sure what to use

I am waiting for the wife to pick a color so I can put it in my dining room. So I’m not quite sure yet. The lip will be stained a dark walnut or espresso color. She’s looking at a farm house style antique style for the rest though.

So the doors are magneticly attached and trimmed out with a 1” x 1/8” pine trim molding to hide the small gap. I wanted to be able to easily remove the panels for maintenance and sump access.

Ya that tool is one heck of a good investment.

it will probably be white chalk paint and dark wax combo for an antique look

Nice build. Love the pocket holes. Used them when I built my stands

 

[don_chuwish]

Very nice! Probably a lot lighter weight than mine!

 

[Kunkymonkel]

Trying to figure out which way looks best. Help me out.

Great craftmanhip, i thing a dry compartment should be a standard for stand. Where will you store power bricks?
