david1991 Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 i would need to know how much water the tank holds. would also need exact measurement of the tank millimeters. plus a drawing of what you want the stand to look like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brockssracer Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 sourcing quality timber at a good price is the hard part as bunnings is the easy option but can be a lil dearer. Buying in bulk is the go to save a few bucks a metre but when you gotta buy 100m at a time can get quite expensive. Also having unique ideas as well is a sure fire key selling point. As I am looking into this currently myself and brainstorming, I have come up with a few cracker ideas. Just have to build them and put them out there for sale now. They aint gonna be cheap but you get quality not quantity! On that note I am sure David and I share the same passions with construction and fish so we are joining 2 things to make some small coin on the side.
