    I made this with my grandkids in mind and just having some fun ;D i used some kids coloring pages i found on the net to trace the image on the doors and then used a router to outline the tracing then colored it with some poster paint and then sealed it with a few coats of toung oil finish with a rag.
    instant fun:victory:

    I totally Love this idea.

    Hmm, this might be enough to convince my wife its time to upgrade to 125gal tank. I can tell her the stand can be her project .
    Hmmmm.
    Just might work.

    If I had kids about, stand would be decorated with wolf eels, and gaping shark mouths and anything else ugly with lots of teeth...

    Would want to leave no doubt in any youngsters mind that this cabinet is not a fun place to visit or play in. :angry:

    My grandkids know sump area contains hungry creatures that would love to bite off a finger or two. [​IMG]
