Last ones. Next week I'll get to work on the canopy and skinning the stand with something nice (none of the current stain will show--that was just to test the color).

[cdub]

[tsciarini]

WOOT!!! It looks like it would hold the weight of a truck!
Good work Jesse... now let's get some water in that thing!!!

No problem, man--I got suckers for nieghbors so i picked that low-hanging fruit!

Seriously, though, come by and check it out sometime soon--I'll need to take it off the stand one more time next week to install the 1" bulkheads that I forgot I didn't have...

Yes, definitely. I have to come up with something to make it look like professional-grade furniture. Never done this before, so I'm learning as I go.

I have to wait till my wife is out of town so I can drill those holes in the wall and floor!

 

[glxtrix]

ha, and does she know about the holes or is that why she needs to be out of town? lol.

 

[jessezm]

exactly--it's a clandestine operation (I have the OK for the wall, but "failed" to mention the floor....)

 

[jessezm]

For anyone interested, here's a link to the whole build thread on RC that gives a lot more explanation and pictures of other stuff (there are a few interesting tangents on the thread as well):

Hey Jesse,

I will be the first to give you frags. Awesome work.

 

[kevin]

lookin real good jesse

 

[jefft]

Give me a call when you need some help Jesse, I'm up here in Bolingbroke, and usually I'm not doing anything. Jeff 390-6355

 

[jessezm]

Awesome, thanks for the kind words everyone. I'll definitely hit you up for some help at some point, Jeff--didn't know you were so close! (we've got a few other great ARC members down here...)

Simon, I can't wait to to take you up that offer--It will be truly awesome to have frags of some of the first corals I ever had!!! (some of the ones from the 110g tank we broke down actually came from my first saltwater tank)
