Fish Folk Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 My colleague knew I’d built some aquarium stands, and asked me to build one for a Youth Program (i.e. not for fish). I built it today just like I’ve done them for my fishroom, knowing that one day.... it might come back this way! First I measure out the middle shelf and cut squares... Then I line up the posts and screw them together using some soap on the threads... Once shaped up, it starts looking right... Then apply some Krylon ColorMaxx paint + Primer, and... Done! (Note: this is designed to hold a 20-long on top with extra lip space for testing items, plus a 10 gal on the middle shelf, with enough room for a Lee’s large specimen container to easily pour in from above 👍) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 you'll have someone asking why soap the threads before long. it is to help lubricate the threads of the screw making it easier to drive, and less likely to split the wood. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
