another 125 build!

That's a beautiful stand. Did you construct that on the fly or use plans? Would you be willing to post your plans if you sketched this out before hand? Also, do you need a center post or does the plywood sides offer additional support? Best looking stand I've ever seen.

Thank you for the kind words. i kinda had an idea on what direction i wanted it go but alot was on the fly. I first made the frame, then skinned it and final was adding all the trim details. there is no front post but the beam is doubled up to help take the load, the back has 3/4" plywood thats glued and screwed that provides sheer support. hope this helps

started mixing water today so i built this setup , 35 gallon can with float valve and backup drain that is mounted higher than the float valve , drains into a 5 gallon bucket that will have a stand alone float and siren to alarm of possible flood.
