Good work, The only thing I would change out is the piano hinge. It will eventually rust. I used Stainless Steel Euro hinges in my bow and after 5 years they are showing signs of rust.

Thanks for the Tip Steven

I used the blum SS hinges is my stand, they are completly rusted after 2 years. I think you would have better luck with a brass hinge, it will not rust the same way if you take care of it.

How do you properly care for brass? Oil? Grease? Silicone?

 

[jhale]

I use Brasso.

you can get locktite "rust protector' and wipe it on the hinges once or twice a year or so.

Nice work Omega.
How long did it take you?

I noticed that you did not make any vent holes. Is heat not an issue?
Nice wood work.

The back is semi open due to HOB refugium, and potential HOB Remora.
I think I need as much airflow as possible. Have 2 4" fans on either side blowing in, and 2 4" fans on top blowing up.
