    Default Fish Tank Stand WIP

    My son wanted a stand on which he could park his fish tank. We are making it from NG Rosewood, to match his desk because they will be side by side.

    Here it is, glued up and waiting to be sanded.

    Did he build it on his own? Did you help him built it or was it he helped you?

    Thanks guys. It is a team effort.

    I enjoy the opportunity to spend some time with him. We are already planning the next piece for his apartment.

    Cheerio!

    ooooh, very nice!

    Almost too nice to be a mere fish stand. (Unless they're upper-class fish that is)

    My son assures me they are very upper-class fish. Besides, he wanted a stand that complimented his desk, also made in the shop.

    Sometimes, it's being able to make something like this that is quite satisfying, because we could not have bought this stand for any amount of money.

    Have fun!
