[Riggers]

Hahaha I'm with ya on that Niz

Cheers Scotty, I love wood!!

Thanks Joe, it's a custom tank, 2m x 15" so buying a stand would have been pricey, it just so happened that the bed frame rails were the perfect length to fit the tank and allready had inside rails, and there was just the right amount of timber in the frame for the stand Couple of hours of lazy effort and it's complete, i may still give it a sand and paint but it's solid as a rock

Huge thanks to Bickley, he is a wiz with a tech gun that's for sure

Lookin good mate. So us my 3ft rack next hehe.

For sure ray, I got the time, tools, wood and a new workbench courtesy of Whipster I've also picked up a beam planer and table saw, that belonged to my grandfather, so it will make things a lot easier end of the week and I should have most of the old jarrah shaped into some sort of stand for the reef tank while I'm tinkering I'll whip up the frame and legs for your stand Ray
