Gotcha.

Does anyone have any plans for such a stand?

Do you want just the plywood box plans or with trim details?

 

[grouper therapy]

How tall? what brand tank is it?

 

[popsbjd]

I'd say with trim. Hadn't thought much about height. 3'? I'm not sure what's standard.

No big hurry at all. Thank you for your help. That stand looks great by the way.

@grouper therapy, you wouldn't have a plan for a 5x2 tank would you?

I don't but I could probably stretch one.

What would guys think about having a stand building gathering at my shop one weekend? I'd be glad to give a little training class on it.

I think we would have time to construct a couple of boxes.

Maybe even trim one.
I'd basically show you how to design them and construct them using pocket screws
We could have several members come over and watch if some are interested.

I'd definitely be interested but you are a long way away from me. I'm in Athens and getting ready to move to Eatonton.

Considering the turn out we have been having for meetings it may be difficult logistically. But, I would be willing to work with Dave to see how we could accommodate something like that. We will work on it.

Not sure I could handle more than a dozen folks. Not that I would mind more I just have to consider safety first and foremost. But we might could do a couple of them if need be. I was really targeting the DIY folks .

That would be a ride for sure. I don't mind doing you a design if you want.

That is my fear as well. We don't like to limit who can attend our monthly meetings but if you wanted to set something up it wouldn't have to be our monthly meeting. Shoot, I would like to attend if for no other reason just to see your set up. OK, maybe I could learn something too so I would be called a wood butcherer any more.
