smidey Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 i would go to a small kichen manufacturer & tell them what you want for size. i have my 2 footer sitting on a microwave box face down. microwave cabs are 632mm wide, perfect for a 2 footer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianab Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 What tools do you have? If you have basic woodworking tools you can make a perfectly good MDF box, sand it and paint it too suit. For a small tanks MDF will be plenty strong. You would want a skillsaw, a straight edge and a drill / screwdriver. Sheet of heavy MDF, a pack of screws and a jar of gorilla glue. You will want to paint the MDF properly as it's not very water proof. Alternatively I can talk you though cutting down a tree and starting from there, but that will need a few more tools and it will take a bit longer Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might find something suitable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
