Aquarium Stand


My friend's 30th birthday and he is getting a 4'x2'x2' aquarium.

It's nice to just do something to make my mind off of a slow couple of weeks, if you know what I mean.

Nice. Clean simple design.
I know what you mean about slow weeks. Start a bath and bed room job tomorrow, Ends nearly two weeks of little odds and ends work.

I'll do the hinges when it's all painted. He's gonna paint it himself. White w/ a laquered look. Not sure what he's gonna use but I told him to go to Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams, not a place like Homo Depot.

Nice job Ryan.

What program did you use to put the watermark in?

Does that cabinet have a back on it?
