150 Gallon Build Thread ... From the Start

[DrNo]

Question Coy: What was your wood-working bankground prior to taking this project on? It looks like this is all old-hat and this is your 50th stand build. Color me impressed as usual. Looks like the fans are a perfect fit; mine have been running 12 hours a day everyday since I purchased them and still run perfectly.

I made a wooden cigar box and tic-tac-toe set in 10th grade shop class (about 30 years ago - lol). That's really all I have ever built. I have, however, watched a **** load of Norm Abram and the New Yankee Workshop (lol). Seriously, I did get the ideas, procedures, etc from good ole' Norm - I have recorded and watched those shows for years (and it finally paid off). I can't draw, but I can trace!

Thanks again for the compliments - and the fan info. I am sure they will work great!!

Nice work! I wish I had the patience to do something like that. The right tools would help too.
