Got an idea to make it into a bar since i have way too much liquor and need more places to stash it.
So I took the stand apart and moved the brace (vertical brace on the legs) up a bit to make the central shelf for the bar, so that larger bottles would fit underneath.
Did this via table saw and chisel, the old fashioned way I know.

I then added a back and sides to the stand, painted them black as well. And then installed a shelf across the middle, utilizing the central brace, and a shelf across the bottom of the stand.
I then hopped over to Lowes and picked up an under-the-kitchen-cabinets plug-in light. I screwed it to the front of the top brace, staple-gunned the wiring around to the back. And I did the same thing with a surge protector.

I'll put up some more pics when the tank is moved into it's new location.
I still have to move the tank over to this room, and also install a wine rack to the left of the tank/stand to finish up the "alcoholic theme" of the corner.
And after a weekend with a little sweat and less blood, have a drink!

good collection of liqours you have there!
when i become a bartender im gonna stock my cabinet up with a nice assortment.
Thanks, on the main bar I have about a dozen selections of single barrel bourbon alone, and a few years of scotch. When it comes to liquor, it's all brown for me, and if it isn't the good stuff then there's no point buying it.

Poor bottles? No, no. It would be "poor bottles" if I actually did finish them the same day they're opened. It would be an insult to some of my scotches to just pound them back in one night.
And i have so much liquor leftover because that's what makes it a "bar". If I just had one half-empty bottle of Aristocrat vodka sitting on a counter, well, that defeats the purpose of a bar, to have anything available at any time for friends and colleagues when i'm entertaining.
