Nice job Ginge, are you going to make a tank hood to match and maybe stain and varnish.

 

[Ginge]

Nah Tank thats comin soon will have tho hood included also i think will leave the wood how it is as it mathces all of the furnitue in my room as far as colour goes. It has been treated with this stuff my dad got for me so it doesnt leave mark when water goes on it(good for cleaning and water changes).

Nice Stand. Now you can ship that to me and we will all be happy . It would look nice to be painted or stained. I have no idea what its called.

Dont think that there is much chance of that happening. The best part is it cost me nothing att all. Got everything of my dad as he is a site manager for a building site.

 

[Mr.September15]

Yeah I think I can get my dads friend of making my bunny a hutch and a stand hopefully. Then after that he can try and do a 100gallon fish tank to go with it.

I used these as help and renforced the inside more i only have a shelf on one side as the external is going in the other side.
If you follow the instuctions on the link and just change everything else to how you think you would like it.
I used MDF on the back to give it a bit more strenght and ply on the top as you can see i have the toung and grove(cladding) on the out side unstained.
