    Arrow Project #9 - hp10BII's stand

    Thought it would be a good time to share my latest stand project. This is a double stacker stand for 2x125g tanks. 72x18x22, with no center support.
    First pic is the design, second is with construction finished. The platforms off each side are to hold canister filters.





    Tonight it will be getting a final sanding and the first coat of paint.

    Looks great. Sure does look skinny front to back when viewing from that perspective.

    lol, yeah. the perspective distorts it a little. The thing is a beast though, heavy to move around by myself

    Thanks guys. This is one of the biggest I have done. If the kids give me a chance this evening I will be able to get the first paint on it.

    Very sharp and stylish !! Consider closing the end of the wings ?

    Are those 2x8 spanning 4 ft - very beefy

    Hadn't thought of closing the end of the wings, but that is a good idea. Would finish it off a little. those are 2x8's, but spanning 6'. Beefy, yes, but I'd rather have piece of mind when I drop it off. LOL

    Holy smokes...what did I get myself into? Daniel, your peace of mind is my peace of mind.

    On paper it looks just like another aquarium stand. In pics, well...it looks danged sexy as much as a stand can look. Thanks Daniel, it's looking real good!
