Hi,
If anyone out there enjoys a nice do it yourself project, I've been working on a stand for my 60g. 95% of the wood used is salvaged crate lumber from my work. There are pictures and notes on the project from the beginning in one of my photobucket albums;

If you select the slideshow option in the upper right of your screen you get a nice walkthru of the process with the notes under the photos.

The album gets updated every time I make any progress or begin a new step.

Thanks for looking, hope you find it interesting.

Looks good. Are you going to use a polyurethane varnish on top?

thanks for posting this! i will definitely enjoy watching the process. I've always wanted to do this.

The stand definitely needs to be protected from the inevitable spillage and the poly should do the trick just fine. After the stain has fully dried, I have clear satin polyurethane ready to apply. Right now I'm thinking three coats, but we will see how my enthusiasm holds up. I'm not much of a fan of any activity involving paint brushes but it needs to be done.

All done!

Looks niiice.
