HELLLLLLOOOOO LABOUR DAY LONG WEEKEND! time to get serious now, i got a bunch of stuff I want to get done and ill start if off with a trip to the hardware store.

I picked up an ikea Gallant rolling filing cabinet that im going to gut and use as my sump stand, its going to match the rest of the desk and blend perfectly take a look



Then I gutted it and started to make all the drawer faces one solid door





After that was done I used my dremel to recess the hinges so that the door would be centred again, then i put a magnet lock on it and voila!



I still need to paint and seal the inside of the cabinet to make the wood water tight but its getting closer!



Then I moved my attention to the desk and how I was going to run my plumbing and this was my solution



I think it worked out really well, kept everything nice and clean i think.






Then my ADD kicked in and i put some felt pads on the bottom of my tank cus it wasnt to fun to move around it liked to scratch the table haha





More to come tonight!
