Cabinet Maker or carpenter needed!

Heya Guys!

Well for my bday I got a 40cm wide and 60cm high hexagon aquarium, i was wondering if anybody here would be able to make me a stand and hood at a reasonable price? wood or plastic ... i have been quoted some ridiculous prices and have had enough so i thought i would write on here to see if anybody could help me get a good price..... please

Thanks guys!!

Dan, Have you thought about trying it yourself. It wouldnt be that hard at all (heck at school i used to make all sorts of boats, clocks, a big table and cabinet things in woodwork). I'm the sort of person who would rather pay someone, but it can be worth it to give it a go yourself!!

Getting GOOD QUALITY wood (stick to wood, rather than plastic) is easy enough (and fairly cheap) and unless you wanted fancy designs, you could make the stand any shape, size or design you wanted. Will work out a lot cheaper and it wouldnt take that long.

A mate has a similiar tank, so if i get a chance i'll go up tomorrow arvo and get some pics. Very simple design but looks fantastic.

What sort of fish you plan to get??

Guys - unfortunately wood seems to burn every time I try to weld it at garage malaga...

won't be able to led a hand on this one...

Dan - as Docile said, get some mdf and make it up to suit - easy as.. paint it for that nu-vogue pimpy look..

better still, cover it in checkerplate, and stick some neons in it!

the fish will think it's a disco, and all wig out!! Ha-ha!

:uh-huh:

OK Adrian and Cam so is that idea out? if so Perhaps after speaking to Mat (Docile) i will try and make one myself with Mat, reminds me of a simpsons episode where homer tries to make a spice holder.. why do i get the feeling that my backyard jobbie isn't going to go to plan..... with me they never do.... ask paul!!! :-)

AHAHAHAHA!!! check out those fish...

yeah checkerplate and neons should to the trick and whack a 5 speed turbo charged filter on it!! yeah FULLY SICK!!

[zanda]

I shit you not, I have a Jun filter-pump at home. It cracks me up.

[docile]

Dan, Like i said, it wont be perfect but as long as we sit down and have a bit of a think and take our time, we should do a pretty good job!! Next time i see you, i'll show you the clock and stuff i made for a bit of confidence boosting!

We should be able to add a couple of shelves and stuff for the filter and air pumps etc

Cheers

No, NO FIsh in the car.... got some probs with the turbo as it is... a fish tank is the last thing on my mind at the moment! then again some goldfish would look cool in our tail lights! ahaha!

:bahaha:

Grey skys: well if its ok with you, do you want to spend a sunny arvo with myself and docile sinking down beers (i will supply!) and making up a nice aquarium stand! hmmm maybe we should stay away from the beers until we have finished?? eheheh! :uh-huh:

[Grey skys]

Would be happy to just give me a call on 0404054901 and we will organise it. I have all the tools and prob most of the materials so it wont cost you much at all.

cheers jon
