And last night managed to get the first coat of stain ( polyshades 2 in 1 actually) on the doors drawers and cabinet (still have to do the trim but ran out of room to lay it out)

Finally done!

So, after 2 gloss coats and a final satin coat, and finally deciding on hardware, the stand is finally done.
Now all I have to do is build the 125 gallon tank to go on it....lol

That is an unbelieveable tank stand. Great job.

Ever think of making and selling custom stands?

Thanks!
AS far as building customer stands, it's crossed my mind, but it's more a labour of love and to be honest without a better workspace and some higher end equipment ( ie spray booth for finishing) and trying to squeeze in build time around work and family I don't think it would be realistic from and economical point of view not to mention shipping. But thanks for the compliment.
