With the weather turning on us i find myself stuck indoors itching for something to occupy my time and distract my 3 year old (my little helper) from driving my wife mental at times. I am offering my services if someone is looking for a new stand. I would call this a hobby of mine and i don't have any new projects slated for myself- so if anyone is interested, i would gladly take the idea to PM or email and we can work something out?

i am by no means a pro at this (you want pro- look up Rob from majestic aquariums and see if he is still doing work). But i enjoy doing this, people seem to like my work and i do it to get better. Cost depends on the design- we could work something out as in aqua related equipment, live rock, corals, or good ol cash as payment forms. I normally like to just buy a tool related to the work and call that my treat for building stuff- So i figure im relatively cheap. let me know

Neil, so sorry I haven't responded to your last email!!! My brain has been consumed with other thoughts lately...zzz....

I think your projects look very good. I admire the handy...because I'm definitely not :)

I'll shoot an email back to you.

Nice work Neil!


thanks big Al ! With each project a learn a little something new to take to the next one and make it better. Like the black one there, get equipment FIRST and measure, THEN build cabinet to fit equipment inside. Sorry about the hole in the top of the middle one Connie. As far as cost works out- its simply you buy the materials, i build it and you throw me a bone :)

like a counter top with a betta bowl sitting on it? :) i would do the bar thing if it was my own project i was taking on- but bottom line is i dont need a bar and i dont have the money for a project like that.
