Turtle's Deep Blue Sea

I agree with the guys. Tlc the stand. Too nice of a tank to overlook the stand! Don't make us come "help" you do it! You know we eat a lot.

Fyi black leather dye works well to touch up the edges (kiwi shoe polish) if you seriously don't want to repaint it. The hinges do have to go.

Black, are you serious? You're going to let him go back with black again?

I know, I know...I did notice the reflection on the side of the stand. Not sure it could be stripped easily. He's looking at a couple hundred for a new build.

 

[Katrina71]

Did I mention those doors could be amazing with some trim? Maybe a little veneer inset inside of the trim...

 

[Dsnakes]

Not to hijack anything...but I think when I build my display, I'll buy it all new. @Amoo and @Katrina71 will make me work too hard if I don't

Welcome to the Deep Blue Sea @ihavecrabs ... please, keep your crabs to yourself.

No promises!

I was on my way to work, couldn't eat them without a beer!

Following Deep Blue Sea!

I agree with @Amoo, give that stand some TLC.

Welcome to the Deep Blue Sea @kinetic...

Ok ok, you guys win. The stand gets some Turtle love. Happy @Amoo?

You do know, that black is the new burnt orange...

From the Austin area?

Welcome to the Deep Blue Sea @Will Milberger. No I'm from the Lugoff, SC area. It's ok, I know you have no idea where that's at. Just get on I20 and drive 30 minutes east of Columbia SC. If I were to paint the stand college colors, it would be garnet and black. Go Gamecocks!

I was making a stab at @Amoo, since he painted his stand burnt orange.

Okay. Well, I'm from the Bryan/College Station area. My stand would be Maroon and White. Gig'em.

Who let an aggie in here? Lol....

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Alright. Made a trip to Lowe's and to Sherwin Williams. New pocket hinges and more disks for my sander from Lowe's, new paint and they were kind enough to tint my primer i already had gray for no charge. Gray primer means fewer coats of paint.

Oh, paint... I bet you're wondering what color I'm painting the stand.

You thought I was going pick a color other than deep blue? Silly....

 

[najer]

Jeez, I'm confused already, who chose the color (English person can't believe he typed "color" not colour).

Well, naturally I chose the color. Who did you think was going to pick... oh, that other guy. Yea, haven't seen him today. If anyone sees him, send him this way... I could use some Pepsi for mixing spiced rum with tonight.

I bet you'd really cringe at, flavor, honor, savor, savior, candor, behavior, armor, demeanor, glamor, harbor....
