Clowninaround's Deep Dimension 300

I chose oak because at Lowes my options was oak or birch an i like the grains in oak alot better an never built anything out of oak so figured why not give it a try. also now that i think about it my entertainment stand is oak so it will match with rest of funiture in house

Very nice looking stand!!
I'm in the process of setting up a 300d.d. myself. I had to build the stand in the garage, take it apart, then re-assemble once it was in the living room. Now I have to figure out a way to get the tank inside.

 

[Clowninaround]

Thats why i built my stand into 2 parts so i can bring it into house with no problems. total heigh is 40"
Yeah i know the feelin movin tank inside this sucker is heavy

Alrite stand has came along way since last posted been busy with work so sorry for the delay.
First thing i had to sand everything done for stain an paint .
I bondo the inside of the stand at all screw an plywood seams. so everything would be smooth

Then painted inside of stand with a epoxy paint so would be protected from any water an could be cleaned easily

Then i went ahead an started with stain & poly.

An here is Finished product

Now just gotta make the doors

 

[mojoreef]

Coming along real nice buddy!!

[Guerry]
