    Built our first Stand...

    Hey everyone,
    I just wanted to show everyone the stand that I built for one of our 20g tanks, I did this one my day off at work. It cost next to nothing to build about $15's in lumber, using only 1x4 and 2x4.... My next project is probably building another for a 55g. It is WAY cheaper than buying one and looks pretty good to me (but Im not perfect... lol ) But first, I'm going to paint it, more than likely black...
    Enjoy,
    Marty

      I just took a closer look and you.... really built that stand. I betcha your stand will hold alot more than 20gallons. I guess you say it's better to be over-built than under-built.

      BTW...... Since you're in a great stand building mood.... how about building a fellow boxer a stand for a 175gallon bowfront. Don't be scared.

            I agree, clean and simple, straight and strong. Nice work.

                  Verry well done, but it's still
                  'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
                  He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'
