yeah..but history is still my least favorite..

Maybe you have to grow up a little before you like history. I started to get into it when I was in college.

keyozoxmfc · 01-13-2007, 04:20 PM

well i dont have to take it this year, but last year i did. i fell asleep kinda a lot. but then nothing is fun when youre tested on it

**CarmieJo** · 01-13-2007, 08:31 PM

My majors in college were Agriculture Education/Agriculture Economics and believe it or not I took EXTRA courses in just to fit in the history.

I want a "Do Over" and pick another major for my degree.

Wha? There's no "Do-Overs in the game of life? Dam

keyozoxmfc · 01-13-2007, 09:56 PM

i still say everything is less fun when you have to get tested on it

It's called second career!

Three out of the 4 doors are done. I just need to finish the "hood" door with Gustavo tonight. It's been busy. Sorry I've not been around.

You can see that the smallish doors on the sides will allow me to view the system from the sides. Room was left in the "stand" to fit a larger acrylic tank in the future.

DOOD! I love it.... even mitered corners! Wow! I want to come play at your house.

**JustDavidP** · 01-30-2007, 11:30 AM

Wasn't me... I'm just the apprentice

Gustavo is the brain child...and the owner of a million dollars in tools

**Seahorsedreams** · 01-30-2007, 12:45 PM

It nice when you can use the "real" tools isn't it.

Hi Gustavo, I'm coming to your house to play with your.... ummmm.... errrr... tools.

Reefbaby · 01-30-2007, 01:06 PM

he he...I love a guy with a good pack of tools!

Dave - the stand is looking fantastic! Are you going to stain it or paint it white to match the walls? I like the idea of the side doors as well, with the possibility for a larger tank...way to think in advance!

**JustDavidP** · 01-30-2007, 01:43 PM

It's going to be stained and protected with either that clear acrylic or urethane. I want to show off the wood and I HATE painting good wood. Now... depending on how nice it comes out (it's on its way to perfection right now), it may be anywhere from honey oak (if no blemishes) to a darker cherry (if I hack the darned thing)

And hey *jealousy setting in* We DID use his router, joiner etc... but we did use MY table saw and a couple other things... *whispering* like the tape measure

**to husband** Sweetheart...

I've decided to "mirror" the inside of the stand. This will help make the smallish 21G tank look larger. Remember, I've kept the stand opening larger, to fit a new tank in the future. This may just be what it takes to make the optical illusion I want.

Check out this persons use of mirrors on the left and right of their tank.

NaClFinatic · 01-31-2007, 11:53 AM

Those mirrors look great! And you get to se the side views also from the front! Awesome idea

**JustDavidP** · 01-31-2007, 12:39 PM

Yeah.. I thoght so too

That's why I'm stealing the idea!
