Hello fellow saltines,
This is actually for a stand holding my freshwater tank but I figure the knowledge might come in handy for a future stand for my saltwater tank. The stand is fairly well made but it's lacking shelves in the cabinet area. Totally makes sense for a large canister filter but it's weird that it didn't come pre-drilled with holes to add shelves (and maybe come with a couple removable shelves.
At any rate I would like to drill some holes and add some shelves I can cut from plywood. I have never drilled holes for shelf pins before so obviously I want the holes evenly spaced and straight when I drill them. Sounds like it's time for a jig. I don't need an expensive one and I found a couple but I want to be sure I'm looking at the right jig to do this job. The pictures look like they're what I need. I'm in Canada hence the Canadian links. If someone has other/better suggestions let me know.
