KOgle's 180 diary

Mommy's plane lands at 5:30 friday evening so maybe after she get home and settled in I can get over to start drilling...You do have a drill don't you???:-/

 

Otty do either of you have a table saw ? and if so a fine blade . The overflows are a bit to tall . They will have to be cut off a tad. I just use a table say to rip the acrylic and a Rip gate or guid.

Just take a candle and wax the line to be cut and then a line of 3&1 or light motor oil to keep acrtylic cool for a really smooth cut and not burring. then 45 Deg the corner edges like I had the bottom already that aloows for a tight seal where the walls of the tank meets the bottem panel ..

I can't even recall what size tank I made them for now .. Last one was in the Jig when I had that lady to hit me head on in that auto accidient several yrs ago.

 

That would be his dog :laughing0

 

My azz that is one bmf you don't wanna mess with!

 

Otty if you wanted to come over tonight and get going I'll be ready. Going to go to Lowe's right after work and get some things. Will be ready after that.

 

Well since KOgle has not came into the 20th century yet and got a computer for his house I will update you on the progress we made last night.

Hip, hip hurray....the tank was not tempered. :clapping: We got started late last night and got 4 holes in the tank drilled with no problem. He was amazed at how easy it was. First one took close to an hour and the next 3 moved a lot quicker. There is still 6 more to do so hopefully that will get done this weekend.

He is on his way to a reef ready tank and many happy years of enjoyment.

 

LOL I told him it was easy ! And after he gets the tank reefready he need to get his house Internet ready ... Or maybe not I could go the reast of my life with out a phone or computer.. The fish tank ' I think I'll keep . They stay where I leave them and the doin't make noise.. I like fish

 

Amen Tangster!!! ;D

Karma to Otty and Tangster for the much appreciated help!!!!

 

LOL you get that puppy drilled all up did you ? Ain't nothing like a fish tank with holes all in it

 

That thing looks like a piece of swiss cheese now...
