    The tank is delivered! Take a look at how they got the tank in the house. Now things are starting to get interesting.

    Very jealous of that tank. I like that you left space on each end of the stand, looks good and is functional.


    Any suggestions on finishing? I'm about to use a varathane professional clear coat tonight! Don't mean to hijack your thread or anything :)

    I learned from a very old man a long time ago, use the best most expensive brush you can find and go with the grain. Also, four or more coats and wait till the coat is completely dry before applying your next coat. Hope this helps. Oh, and work fast if its a large area.
