It's Done!!

I finally finished the fish tank stand I made my girl friend for Christmas. I brought it to her this weekend. It holds a 40 gallon tank. I built the frame out of 1 1/4" steel angle iron and encased it in wood. Much better than the bureau she had it on that was collapsing under the weight!
Here it is!

Haha yaaaa, she's got 4 other tanks sooooo it gets costly to stock all of them at once! She's slowly adding to it though.

Thanks guys! I was told I should make them and sell them! lol

Gorgeous! Now she can hide all the tank food and cleaners below. I want to see an updated pic with some more fish and decor in it. Is this a fresh water or salt water tank?

Whats up with the chain from shelf to shelf?

Looks like an awesome stand. Keeping fish is my other hobby

I agree, very nice craftsmanship. You probably should consider making them to sell.

Of course you're a carpenter!!

Very nice work indeed. She should be proud. Careful though... I feel a long "honey-dew" list being compiled for all her carpentry/handy-man needs. "Honey, do this.... "

Haha! I've already been (jokingly) requested to refinish their bathroom since I just did mine by myself.

Beautiful work, I can't make doors match that closely even with the adjustment screws on prefabs. Really really nice. It's great to have a piece (or more) to look at for all time knowing you crafted it.
