Made a little progress on the equipment panel and put together a layout that should work. Now I just have to make all of the cutouts. The clamps kept everything together so I could see how it will look once finished. I’ll mount a couple noctua fans that’ll run off of the eb832 to keep the power supplies cool, thanks for the suggestion @neon_reefer !

Thanks, I really appreciate the offer and it would probably be a lot easier, but I would like to try it old school. Plus I really need to get this tank rolling again.

man, I need to make friends with a good welder lol. looks solid!
Yeah, find someone who does aluminum, it looks much better as a finished stand. But again, I had three different size stock bars for this stand. If I was starting over, I would do 8020 in a heartbeat.

All access holes are cut, just need to mount a couple printed brackets for power supplies and I can put it together and get it hung. It’s not perfect, but what do you expect from using hand tools?
Looks fantastic for only using hand tools. Nice work!

Probably not, it’s going in a closet and it’ll be pretty dry, but maybe I can put a coat of Odie’s on it?
I'd do something to protect the wood; Odies is probably the easiest.

Odie’s oil on lighter wood isn’t the best option, but this will be mounted on a wall behind coats and jackets, so it’s good enough, right?
I’ll add this, there will be very little moisture in this closet as the ATO reservoir is sealed except for a small opening.
