I finally got some more time to work on the tank stand this weekend.
I was able to install all of the trim/molding and I started to fill the nail holes and gaps with wood filler. I'm very pleased with the results so far.
Here are some of the the latest photos.
This shows all of the trim installed (except for the matching left side trim). You might notice that some of the trim has a lighter color, since it is made from pine and the main exterior pieces are made from red oak.
I used a miter saw to cut the corners of the trim at 45 degree angles so that they would fit snug:
Here is a closeup showing the bottom trim and side trim. You will notice that there are two holes. I mistakenly drilled a hole that was larger than the nail. Oops! :duh: So I had to drill another hole that was smaller:

Here is a look at the top trim from the back:
I will hopefully be able to finish filling the gaps with wood filler next weekend. I then have to sand, stain, and varnish everything.
Finally, I will make the two cabinet-style doors.
Stay tuned...
