    This video, this is what started my woodworking career and eventual decline in fishkeeping. Now I build some much better stuff but I'll never forget that this video is the reason why I got into it

    This is easy enough for ANYONE! I needed something for my tortoise table and this design is simple and really great!

    This video is probably the most informative for building a stand, and also the funniest. This dude is so chill.

    Thanks! Just built this with my 9 yo. It was $60, but $20 was paint alone. Good lesson in carpentry. I went with 12 ft boards, so I count get four 36” boards out of 3 cuts.

    I know this is a older video, but I took your stand dimensions, went to home depot, bought what i needed,built it. Only different thing was I added a 3/4 thick 36x18 plywood on top. Thanks man!

    Thank you for making this video. I ended up building one a few days ago, using four 36”,six 15”, four 24” and four 17” pieces.I haven’t mated the 17” pieces in yet but they matched up well. I’ve never really worked much with wood so this was a nice starting project. Spent 16 dollars and used old/extra screws. When I upgrade tanks in a year or 2 I’ll be making a new one.

  • @ilovemyaltima
    @ilovemyaltima 4 года назад +5

    Your awesome bro. I just happened to have a few pieces of 2x4's laying around and 3"screws. So I went with your dimensions for your cuts and it worked out great. Thank you so much for posting and explaining what was needed for the build.

  • @smokesumthynbytch
    @smokesumthynbytch Год назад

    Bro I was at work in the shop today. Was getting ready to leave when I thought I should get some material to build a stand. I cut everything as you did at first in the woods hop then had to re cut the 18s down once I got home and finished watching the video 😂. I’m using mine for a bearded dragon habitat but it worked flawless. I’m going to note I didn’t put the small block in the bottom instead i left the center open and instead I used that with the other block on the top and turned them flat for more surface area a

    Just wanted to say I love all of your videos man. I've been following for a while observing all you do and it's been a fun ride so far! Looking forward to many more videos from you! While I have you here, clamp your miter saw down to the horses, or attach it to some sort of a wood base if you frequently use it on the horses. I'd hate for something to go wrong while you're operating it. I'm not trying to bicker at you I just freaked out a little bit watching you run that thing on them horses 😂 much love man 🤘 the stand looks pretty darn good

    I plan on building a stand like this but for a 75 Gallon.. The only different thing I will be doing.. is building the bottom first... then the upper legs.. and then the supports... and then putting the top cap on last to ensure its resting on the extra supports.

      Came here to say this! It's crazy how many videos there are here on RUclips of poorly designed aquarium stands.
      I mean, this one will *probably* work, but doing it correctly isn't much more work and would only require an extra 2x4 or two.

    Hey I just wanted to say, they make edible sand that turtles can eat and it won’t hurt them! You won’t catch your turtle eating it a lot of the time but if he does or accidentally does it’s safe.

    • @chancekelleher9818
      @chancekelleher9818 4 года назад +1

      Since turtles don't breathe through the water the nitrogen cycle doesn't matter, so his basking is definitely from a different cause, I'm not too sure what though, may just be scared due to a new habitat. I have a baby turtle myself

      @neyo509 2 года назад

      Most 2by4 can hold weight that far exeeds a 40 gallon and even a 55 gallon, with that contruction it'll be 100% fine. Just look up wood weight test or 2b4 strength test, you'll be surprised. They can hold like sometimes over 500 or 600 pounds without any contstruction
