My New/First 125 Build

[nysharkbait]

I'm going to begin working on my new 125 set-up, and since I've learned so much from everybody on here, I figured I should return the favor to future "newbies" by showing my progress, lessons learned and mostly, what not to do. With BTLDreef's guidance, and a lot of trial and error, hopefully this will be something exciting for you to watch. I will begin tomorrow building the tank stand. Tomorrow marks the end of the days of having any money in my pocket

. And to think, I WANT to do this...
I'll try to post pictures as often as possible through every step of the way.

Almost finished with the frame. Took a nap and then ran out of screws so I couldn't finish. Back at it Wednesday. Looking good so far I think... Keep you posted.
Sorry, I took it with my camera phone.

Stand is almost finished. All the wood is cut for the sides and top, but I thought leaving it off would make it easier to transport. Still need to do the doors and stain, but we're getting there.
