Did Frank at Franks tanks take pictures of your stand? He showed me pictures of a stand that looked just like this one. He was VERY impressed by the craftsmanship

 

[OBP]

No I took pictures of it, I am in Grand Prairie so he hasn't seen my stand in person. I did reference an online pic of a smaller cube stand with a similar style though.

Doors are only floating and I need to find some hinges, need to fill, prime, and coat doors and canopy as well.

Sump was completed over the weekend so I will take a break from woodworking and do some plumbing -_-

Great woodwork!!! Really nice looking. Love how it reaches the ceiling.

Thank you.
