Thanks. It's actually hand towel. I'm building the stand in a mechanics shop. It is cheaper for them to get a hugh roll of it and cut it down to that width.

I will definetly post a picture when I get it stained and finished.

Also forgot to mention that if I decide not to set up the tank I can always remove the doors off the stand, get a fireplace insert ,add some wheels and have a niffty portable fireplace.

Never going into business making stands . Have not totalled up how much but figure it is in the $200 range possibly higher. Don't think to many people would pay $200 plus my time for a stand.

Stand looks great.....you might be surprised at what some people are willing to pay for a quality piece of aquarium furniture.

Thanks , I would have to perfect the design and cut out all miss cuts and find a way to do the work quicker to make it cost effective. I've worked on this on my spare time for about a week now. Not to mention this is a stand that would only take a 36"lx 18"foot print or something custome to take up the whole stand dims. in that cause the hood would have to be rebuilt.
