Diy Tank Stand...wheels?

Nice build...until you stained it (Not a fan of the dark stuffs).

Thanks to you all!!
I'm actually quite shocked I had the skills to do this having never attempted a project such as this.
As I said, I had to make it like a piece of furniture. It will be going in the kitchen, and will be seen from the dining room and living room.
Future stands will not be so elaborate because when all said and done this stand did not save me money. I could have purchased one for only a few dollars more. But, it would have only been 30" tall and hold 1 tank.
This is all to set the wife up for letting me set up my "wall of fish" on a 12' run in our office. I can see it now...multiple tanks and biotopes. My own Shedd Aquarium.
When my wife saw this she said "wow! That will be a perfect place for my cookbooks"

Cookbooks??

Lol!! Well then I guess I'd be in trouble if I was married to you.
The wife is a fan of the dark stuffs.

Edit-just wanted to add that the dark stain also hides a lot of the imperfections of my carpentry.

Steve, that is a superb piece of work. I wish I had half your ability to make something like that. You deserve a pat on the back for that stand.

Cookbooks?? - Nothing better than homemade food in my opinion, far better than processed stuff

Thanks David!

I agree homemade food is the way to go. Both my wife and I are in the restaurant business. She is a chef at a hotel in Chicago, and I am the GM of a seafood restaurant(is that hypocritical?)

So, when she says cookbooks...we are talking about at least 50-60 books!
