Thanks :) :)

I'm thinking it will be done tomorrow. I ran out of stain.... Still have the trim for the doors to cut and stain, and a little touch up here and there..... Then I gotta lug the beast to my house, and pray that the work gets done This week......
The trim will be FUN!!! Coping/mitering the trim are always fun. :D

Back at it in the morning.... One more small can of stain, and I think this time I'll borrow a proper miter saw in the shop across the parking lot. I'm beat, and not having a proper bench to work on.... Well that just sucks LoL

Remember....measure twice cut once. I take it you are going to put that L channel trim on the vertical, horizontal and depth of the stand where they all meet(where the tank is going to sit) both on the left and the right? That is going to be fun fun fun...lol...

Just take your time...you will be fine.

LoL Fun indeed :) I already cut and sanded the mistakes for the edge molding around the top. There will be No close up photos of these :P

I may take it across the way, and use their spray booth and hit it with a coat of clear, and let it dry overnight, and tomorrow. Then bring it home Monday.
