I hate to rain on your parade but this is doomed for failure! 8 foot will require a much stronger base.

....everyone knows that two cats weight should be used to stength test

I have four cats if you want to borrow one?

On a good note, the cat is clearly not sliding off, so you have a straight base at least, lol

Looks great, can't wait for more updates.

I done my Mathis right.. These r solid 7N concrete blocks.. Not the usual one for house walls.. If is it fails, my next project will be building a time machine to go back in time to kick Newtons butt..

Anyone els think stand look not strong enough?

Sorry had a few beers, just messin' when you said about the cat strength test etc.

Any mre pics yet?

 

[garyspence84]

Ahh, the old "sorry, had a few beers" routine

That's why I don't post when ive had a few haha apparently the world DOESN'T get buzzed along with me when I'm under the influence

Instead I post when I'm on night shift (like now) where sleep deprivation kicks right in. Don't know what's worse really?

 

[Vin Swords]

Thanks for the interest guys.. I know it's like porn to us..

Been too busy.. New work, new house, new city.. So spare with me on this one..

Woodwork and filleting is complete. Now fiberglass time. Planning finish the whole fiberglass work this weekend.

Done some fiberglass.. Just the bottom bit. Done 3 layers of 600gsm sheets..

Will post the photo tomorrow..

 

[Gvilleguy]

Can you explain the tank design? Will the fiberglass seal the wood and then water fill that space, with glass on the front?
