Hi guys I went bigger lol. I
doubled in size, no i dont mean my rootbeer belly either, from a 55 to a 120.
48x24x24, .5 inch glass all around, and my favorite feature.....dark smoked back glass.
Buffed out 90% of the scratches tonight, I'd have done it 100% but my back started complaining. I'm very proud of my 5'3" 135 lbs wife. She helped me move, tip, spin, and take it off the 3' work bench top to the floor.
Rinsed the cerium oxide out and have it sitting on the garage floor full of water till tomorrow night for leak testing. Tomorrow night I'll be building the skeleton of the stand so I can switch everything over on saturday.
Here are tonight's pictures....more to follow, oh and my wife and I will be chartering up when income tax comes in.23689236902369123692

Thank goodness I have a garage full of tools and enough lumber laying around to do it. 2.5" lag bolts in every joint and 2.5" screws for good measure. I haven't decided how to flesh it out yet. You have no idea how hard it is not to cover it in weathered fence wood.
I've got 49"×23"x27"(L x W x H)of total inside room
