Re: My 90G Pile of Rocks

Looks awesome. 

I have been planning mine as well.  Mine will be similar, but im going to still incorporate some mesh so that i dont have to worry about jumpers.

I was planning on starting it today,  I got the planer and joiner all set up,  started bringing in the wood for it and the wife saw the wood and had other plans.  So instead i built new coat racks and a shoe/boot rack.  Now i need to get more wood.

Thanks, since I can't fit your 140, I decided to finish up my plans with this canopy.

Not sure how much of a masterpeice it will be.  Im gonna try damn hard to make it to match my stand.  My carpentry skills are nowhere near the guy that made my stand.  I would say only just barely good enough to feel like i get better than i would buy in a store and spend less money doing it.  Along with the satisfaction of knowing i did it myself.

Nice job with the canopy! What is your stand made out of again? I was thinking for your canopy you can use some oak veneer and then add some nice smaller oak moulding or something to give it some depth and a nice finished look.

Thanks! My stand is a basic pine stand, painted/stained black. Does Lowes/HD carry the veneer in the lumber section?

Re: My 90G Pile of Rocks

I will be off later today to get some for myself.  Usually can get them in 2x2, 2x4, 4x4 and 4x8
First i have to go see one of my buddys to go get some more rough cut oak.  Darn wife!!!  I better be able to get more.
