Those plywood squares are simple genius! I am new to this, so I am not sure if they are common or not, but I would have never thought them up.

The build is looking great.... I am looking forward to seeing the rest! Thanks for sharing.

Haha, thanks. But in all honesty, it took me an hour of looking around my shop and basement wracking my brains how I was going to keep this stuff square. I had one small square and I was thinking, if only I had 3 more, lol. Then it hit me to make my own. It did take me a couple tries to get my saw perfectly square though. I was too lazy to set up my good one from my work trailer so I was using my old DeWalt compound.

Thanks, man. I've got the eurobrace done as well now but have no photo's yet. I'm trying to get a hold of a couple guys now to haul this thing out to my shop so I can stand it on end and silicone the overflow box onto the left side. Then I'll set it up in the garage and fill 'er up and hopefully she won't blow

But if she does, there a lot less explaining to do if it goes out there than if it's in my living room.

Bribed some buds with some Corona's tonight to come over and help move the beast out to the garage. Beers came out AFTER the move

Got the overflow all siliconed in. Gonna try and get it on the stand in the garage on Fri and get some water in it to see if it'll hold.

Water is entering the tank.. almost half full

Got the tank filled! And no water on the floor. That's a good thing

I put in 2 WP40's and got a bit of a wave going. Took a little clip of it running, I'll see if I can get it posted
