Update...

Can't believe it's been a whole month already since I last found time to work on my stand! :eek:

Here's the raw ingredients for the lighting hoods...



And heres an assembled hood...



Next step - sand down and seal the wood, then it's time to mount the electrics...

Here's a new toy I picked up dirt cheap direct from an importer - paid less than half of what the LFS sells it for! Now I just need to figure out where to mount it...

Tanx FishyFry! :)

Heres an update - had a busy weekend but found the time to get some work done on the lighting hoods...

Sanded, sealed and painted - mounting the electrics...





Still needs another coat of white paint but couldn't wait to see what it would look like with 2 x 15w CF's...



Night time...



One step closer! :)
