Looking good, sure a lot of work when it comes to building bowfront canpies, That is some quality workmanship.
I had them made out of acrylic not so long ago for a 72 gallon bowfront. Since my acrylic skills were not good I had a friend build it for me. I helped him mark and cut the pieces. Came out alright, unfortunately pictures are bigger than 200K cannot post them here. Venki

The plan for the doors is pretty simple. Hopefully it works out.
I have a third curved piece that I milled identical to the top and bottom curve rails. I plan to mark the centre of the rail and cut it in half. This will then form the inside brace for the door. I'll then use milled 1 x 3 s to form the actual doors. Basically, I am copying the design of the AGA stand. The back pannels will be removable and will have exhause fans monted in them. Teh top panel I am thinking of making aluminum and vented for heat disipation. The other idea I had was to build a dual plastic screen top so hot air could easily escape but the light would be diffused through two layers of screen. Obviously I've still got some work to do!
