Brianemone Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 where is the best place to get a cabinet made to go under my new tank???? (obviously not many of you will know places in hamilton but in general who does the best job and prices) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Port Nicholson Glass in Wellington. Peter made my tank and did an AWESOME job. Hes a professional tank maker, and a very good cabinet maker. He makes many of the cabinets (pine) you see in the stores around NZ. He may even deliver as I know he is going to Auckland to deliver some tanks in the next few weeks, and often pops around. He charges for the delivery of course, but his pricing is very fair. If you want holes drilled, open lids, custom braces or whatever you need to plan out the tank (as per my previous posts on my 'first look' thread). He will take it from there. If you send him the tank valves he may even glue these in for you depending on the size of the tank (makes it hard to move a large tank with them in). Also get the overflow box made (should cost less than $100.00) and he will glue this in too. Garantees his work, makes steel framed stands. Can do collars or lids as required. I wouldn't use anyone else. Pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted December 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 i did think the workmanship that i could see on your thread as very high, would you reccomend going to a cabinet maker or a glazier (i didnt think cabinet making was a skill common among glaziers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 my bro-in-law is a very good cabinet maker. i can get him to give you a price if you like. custom design it yourself and PM me a plan of approx. dimensions and I'll get you a price.
