Nice simple stand.

Jake and Evan - Thanks for the video.

Lovin this series, it’s just a great 👍 watch. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It’s amazing what plywood glue and a few Brad nails can do. I like it and much better than most plywood stands.

I hate video like this, just makes my brain adding things to my to do next time list ;-)

Thanks Jake and keeping it reef for sharing the process + design! That’s a great design for anyone to try out even some of the folks who aren’t really into carpentry/ woodwork. Turned out great and I love that it has more of a modern look to it. I actually just ordered a Red Sea reefer 200xl and the stands look very similar. Slap a nice door on that bad boy with some good quality hinges so the door can’t slam shut and you basically have the same product in the end.

That is awesome I love the look of this stand great work and David does a great job!

Stand looks great! My stand is a combination between the plywood/brad nails and 2x4 design. Best of both worlds.

Im excited maybe gives me the idea to build a stand for my 40g

Love that stand build definitely will do one for my tank super simple to replicate

Jake, Excellent point about getting a used acrylic tank for next to nothing. I see people trying to get rid of these all of the time, and with some elbow grease, and a DIY stand like the one you just had made, you could go from thousands of dollars down to hundreds for a tank and stand. Seriously considering it for my next build. Thanks for pointing out Keepin' it Reef too. Didn't know we had another store in our back yard. :-)

Yes

I'm not a woodworker either and this is a crude example but still a very good example of what you can do without using the klunky 2 x 4 method. Very nice. We need more of these plywood videos. I would bet that thing could holt a truck if it was placed on top.

Jake, the stand turned out very well when you needed something in a pinch. It looks aesthetically pleasing as well as structurally sound. 👌

Dude - Jake we need another video installment in this series posted!

This is a nice stand and good concept but have you seen aluminum profile built stands, Tidal Gardens uses those and they are made from 80/20 and only require basic tools

Wow, never thought I'd be excited to build a stand 🤣 damn you Jake! Now I have to build this 60 breeder. I'm such a mindless sheep. Great edit Evan, very relaxing.

Brilliant ❤

If u have a red sea tank or water box tank stands are basically the same as this stand they use camlocks to hold together and no glue. The stand looks great it will b fine

The 2X4 stand, the local saltwater store had the entire store built on them. They were there for over 20 years until it had to move locations, and still had to be demolished. The biggest concern would be to make sure the fasteners will hold up to the salt, if the metal rusts then everything is gone.
