I know after a thread like this goes on long enough it's hard to come up with new things to say about it after a while
. Don't worry, this weekend the plans are:
1) fill and faire the top, then re-coat, so it looks nice and smooth like the back.
2) Get windows for the top.
3) finish plugging all the holes, sand, stain, and then clear epoxy on the oak.
4) Sand down all the imperfections on the interior of the tank and do one more (careful!) coat of black, so the interior is smooth and glossy black. I also need to fasten and seal the overflow box to the back, and make sure it holds water.
Once I have all that done I'll set it up on the stand and take some piccies. I haven't shown you guys what the stand looks like with doors and stuff on it. I think you'll be excited, so tune in on monday!
