Thanks for being here guys. I think I am going over there working on the stand tonight.

Got the 4x4s veneered. To clamp the blocks in place wile the glue on the veneer dried we had to press the stand between two basement walls with a spare support post.

That's being CREATIVE

PEMfish · 02-05-2009, 09:41 PM

Yeah, I'm glad he thought of that.

PEMfish · 02-07-2009, 11:12 AM

BTW; I think I have thrown out the South American thing. I am looking at getting a pair of torpedo barbs on the stocking list.

Got some work done on the stan last night. Veneer is a little wavey but not too too bad. Is all a bunch of little thing that need to be done now;
Sand
File
Fix edges of veneer ( re glue )
Glue trim on
Screw hardware on
search for imperfection and fix

Then I will get to Finishing.

I also got the CO2 cradle build.

I have pics, post and I'll show.

I got some more work done on the stand tonight. It is so so close to being done.

PEMfish · 02-09-2009, 05:36 PM

Alright, you guys did post. But until we get some real conversation in here I will only show pics of defects.

michaelh218 · 02-10-2009, 02:50 AM

You know, that's just mean lol

I'd start some conversation, but all I know about carpentry is that it involves wood and nails lol

BigAl07 · 02-10-2009, 09:28 AM

LOL! Paul you nut!!

It's official *and all your fault*..... when we build our next house my current 90g Reef will be FW. You're lucky if I don't send you a BILL for the conversion LOL!!

Once you sand and stain hopefully it will cover up the little stuff. What stain did you say you were going with?

PEMfish · 02-10-2009, 05:08 PM
