    Very nice.
    Ya know that glass tanks stands don't have to have a top to put the tank on.
    ( a beefy perimeter- yes)
    My 180 is open on bottom, etc.
    Nothing wrong with that though.
    Gonna look good- nice work

    Thanks Todd, I know that I don't need it. But I have the extra piece from the cut and I wanted a flat surface to work with. It covers the 3/4 plywood on the back as well.

    Repainted the sump room floors this am. At a standstill with the tank until wood comes in.

    Got the Red Oak in yesterday! Changing the blades in the saws today, got my plans all drawn out and going to start skinning it. I will take some pictures on the way.
