Custom Stand Builder?

[oceanblu]

Hey everyone! I need a custom stand built for an upcoming build. I don't know any quality builders out there though. Can someone please recommend to me a stand builder? I had a quote done by a local tank builder but their stand was double the price of the tank...

I can't do it myself due to lack of space, equipment, and skills so I need it built by someone else, I don't mind paying extra for a well built stand but not an outrageous amount.

Just to let you know, i just recently built a beautiful stand for my 90 gallon with canopy , cost me right around 300 in supplies alone and it takes quite a few hours to buiod something nice just to help you with lrice quotes , if i had to build it for someone i woukd have charged like 650 at least.

What type of wood did he use $400 sounds super cheap the wood itself can get pretty pricy especially if u use oak or walnut or something like that!

 

[Mattl22]

Can u guys post pics of ur stands that where custom?



I bought this used from a guy here who had it custom made by a cabinet maker
It's walnut and it weighs a ton!

Hey, tttony I would really like to get a quote from you for a custom stand, it looks like you do really great work. I will PM you.

Tony built this for me. It's a 2 part custom cube stand (made to fit door clearance). It's made from reclaimed maple. I haven't added hardware yet. This is built very heavy!

 

[oceanblu]

Wow that's amazing, so different. Thanks for posting those pictures!

No problem. Glad you like it. Some guys just don't get the reclaimed look. I actually had negative feedback from guys rocking perfecto stands lol :wink1:

 

[oceanblu]

I actually asked Tony for a quote for a contemporary stand but now that I saw yours I'm definitely going to have to ask for another quote on a smaller version of your stand! Lol @ perfecto stands. I've had so many pet store stands but I'm done with them, I need a nice, real wood stand.

 

[Mattl22]

Pet store stands are terrible had a few and within a yr or 2 they r shot!!

Tony those stands r incredible are you a wood worker by trade?
Where do u get ur wood?

3/4 birch

Really you don't have anything better to do ! Tony does great work at an affordable price it's a hobby for him not a business
