Craig dropped off the canopy yesterday, so to day I knocked out the stand re working what mike gave us to use.

Can I bring the AC to the DBTC meeting, or do you need it earlier?

Just got the stand and canopy from Martin. Thanks guys!! Since this has been quite the community effort, I thought I might ask for people's opinion on some design. I use thinking about doing cut outs like this. And if we painted the stand and canopy white I could do behind the arches black to give it some depth.

Right now I drew the arches peaking in the middle at 2, 1/8". Where I think if they were more subtle say 1.5" at the peak it might look a little better.

 

[MartinsReef]

I like the idea! I say go for it.

Great! That's two for it. And just a little heads up. It's gonna take a little while for me to get this thing finished. The doors are gonna take some time to build But the finishing takes the longest. I spray oils and do at least a total of 6 coats and I have to let the coats dry for at least 12 hours before I can sand and spray again. So it's gonna take a week if not more.

I am going to need help this weekend rolling the tank for paint and silicone. I need to get this done. So If you ate able to help post up a time please

Just finished cutting the arches.
