Well I about to start working on building another tank stand. For those of you that remember me from my last tank stand project, I am going to stay with the unconventional design. I have made a computer model and rendering.

The shelf is for the canister filter. I plan on making a curved cover over that area and maybe a small drawer under the top.

You may want a center brace on the very back, but either way it LOOKS NICE!!!

Hi,
Thursday: Cleaned up the raw lumber.
Friday: Rough cuts, glue-ups and some final cuts.
Saterday: Sanding and lower assembly.

Here is what it looks like now.

Today I will get the top cut to size, edge routed, sanded and attached. That should not take too long, so then I will start on the shelf.

Graphixx is right you wouldn't want to put 1200 lbs on this design.
