    Worked on the stand nearly all day today. Got some of the finishing touches done, but it really doesn't look like much. Got the rest of the fuge supports in, got the floor in, worked on some of the molding, got the face panels cut. It is really slow going with the little stuff like this. I have everything I needed to filled with putty, and am going to let that sit overnight before sanding it down tomorrow.

    That is going to be an awesome setup, I'll like to move on to a bigger one my self, but considering where I live, I don't think that would be possible.

    Here is a pic of the stand as of tonight. Yes, right now it is very rough looking. Keep in mind the entire stand will be painted black.
    The front is 3 separate detachable panels. There will be molding separating the panels to clean up the edges.

    That's really nice dude. Really nice. I like what you did with the window. Is it glass or acrylic?

    Well, nothing technically. That's the 20 long that will be the fuge in there. There is no material on the window on the facing. Simply a square hole with the molding.
