not meaning to take your thread just wanted some input from an expert like yourself w/o starting a thread with some not so important questions like those...
Well you have to factor in many things.
1. How well you work with wood. (wrong cuts, wrong measurements etc...)
2. Design (how complicated you really want to make it.)
3. Kind of material (what kind of wood do you want to use)
4. How much time you have at your disposal.
5. Is it really worth pissing off da wife for a week or two with all that noise and cursing and trips to the hardware store cause you just got a new idea, and when she calls you you'll say I'll be there in a minute and 2 hours go by and your still not in the house, or you get off work early just to work on the stand thinking that you'll have a little peace and quiet with out someone down you back like the wife cause she is still working, but then she starts calling you on the cell phone and after the first 3 times you decide to turn off your phone so you can get something done, but noooooooooo she doesn't understand that, she wants to argue when she gets home about how your not paying attention to her anymore and how every since you've gotten that damn fish tank all you do is come home and look at it all day and then she says " AND NOW YOUR BUILDING A STAND TOO" she then adds "I wish you would look at me the way you look at your fish" You then stand there and wonder Is this really worth it?!?!?!
I say hell yea! :hilarious
my stand set me back about $175.00 when it was all said and done for.
