the-obstacle Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 what's the bike? Stand looks great. It'll look even better finished I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si_sphinx Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 what's the bike? Stand looks great. It'll look even better finished I'm sure. Thanks, Bike is a hardrock. I don't like the red rims but the shop wouldn't change them at no charge for me when I brought it :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-obstacle Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 They're a great bike. Sucks about the rims though. Anyway - back on track. Are you going to paint the stand or oil/varnish it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si_sphinx Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I would have liked to stain and polyurethane it but I have put screws into the ply so I will fill them and just paint I think. All my furniture is dark greys and blacks so was thinking black on outside and white on inside maybe. Would that look good? I need to get timber moldings for the corner edges to cover the ply joins as well. Unless anyone has any ideas on what would look nice...?

si_sphinx Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Cupboard doors done, just need hinges. Does anyone know if the tank will be ok straight on top with 40mm poly between the tank and stand? OR should I put a sheet of ply on the stand first?

si_sphinx Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 I need help and comments on a colour scheme for the stand, I want black because all my furniture is black and dark colours. Does this look ok? I'm not to sure about the white, I think it stands out too much...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 I would say all black with maybe white or silver handles. IMO the white would stand out and distract from the tank a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirt Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Yeah solid black I reckon. Looks more professional in a way :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 White all the way man :thup: It will be an awesome contrast the dark furniture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
