Re: Doc's Shark Tank

aaaaaarrrrrgh!!!!!!! off by 2 centimeters!!!!!! WHY??? Why must the gods of hardware and carpentry hate me so!!!! Dammit! I f&%king hate DIY projects!!! what the F$%K is wrong with me. Why not shell out the extra $750 for the stand, noooooooooo, I have to try to be F*&king Bob Villa.....

Now then, I feel better. I will get back to my piece of stand. I will have to learn to cope with "good enough".

Re: Doc's Shark Tank

well, it is as good as it will get. I got sick of trying to measure and remeasure and remove molding and well.... it doesn't matter. So, this is how it turned out:


Here it is, without the doors.


The doors were a problem. I had no idea how to install them. I don't do hinges, I am not a fan of all of the balancing of trying swing a door properly. I decided to put some decoration on the outside....



Doors done. I think I cut the molding correctly to fit the frayed edges of the bead-board I used for the finish work.

I had an moment of genius regarding the doors. Here it is.....



No worries with me trying to put hinges or hang a door. velcro baby!!!

I will have a shark next week. I am transferring all the sand, rock, water, and livestock from my 125 into the shark tank. I will just be making up the extra water with new salt water, kind like a 50% water change or so. Things will be fine. I am buying my shark next saturday.
