Nice job Becky! That stand looks amazing and glad you received the tank.
We been having a lot members building some really nice/professional stands lately:)

Thanks Eddie :) Yes I agree! And it's not as hard as some would think.
 
Drum roll please.....

Which lead to this...

I also didn't account for needing styrofoam in between tank and stand...:doh: So I had to pry off the existing top trim, raise it up, and add new piece of trim under where existing trim once was...which lead to another :beerglass:

As impatient as I am... I got it done that night.

Looks great! Keep the pics coming.

BTW..how many different beers do you have in that case:pleasantry:
Too many, or maybe not not enough that day lol
It's a collection of leftovers from get togethers with friends... Clearly different tastes! Lol
 
And this smile is worth 1,000 words. Brae is very excited his tank is finally here... And I can't tell you how happy this makes me. :)

2 Radion's for now... I still haven't lit those bad boys up yet. Used same method that BRS used for mounting fixtures. Going to cut extra metal on sides if a 3rd light isn't in the near future

Then ran cords down a low volt box we installed - (still need to cut wires off hanging kit)
