Tank stand and cabinet maker (1 Viewer)

[gregg]

Anyone know of a good stand and cabinet maker?

If I did it again, I’d go with Framing Tech. I’d also have some King Starboard panels cut for the doors and other panels to wrap the stand. Then use a router and straight cutter bit to plunge some holes for magnets. You can use a circle jig to get the holes perfect. Just small 1/2” rare earth magnets should be enough to hold the panels to the steel stand and the Starboard will never get water damaged.

BB Fish has/had a vendor that builds stands and does really good work for fairly decent prices. May be worth checking them out on that.

Also, Planet builds stands too.

80/20 like Framing Tech will help you design a stand. For a wood stand, there used to be a guy on the Northside, Woodtech I believe was his name.

Aluminum stands

I'd do this..all you need is a chop saw with a metal blade and a screwdriver....if you oversize the heck out of the top beam, can run open sided. you can add T-slot removable side panels. I use these guys for plastic sheets. They'll work with you and make cuts for you in their shop at a decent price. texasplasticsheet.com; Michael Rose <michael@texasplasticsheet.com>

80/20 is a company & will also help you design. They provide a fantastic material if you can DIY, and save money over Framing Tech. FT basically came along after 80/20 and they too sell material... only difference is they also sell kits they have put together. But what do I know,....

Most of these companies like FramingTech will pull up a CAD drawing design with you and you can see pressure points/weak points depending on how big/long you go which helps you decide how wide you want the horizontal runs.

Apologies. Since 80/20 t slot is sold a lot of places, i didn't realize there was a company by that name that worked with the public.
