Pictures or videos of the building process would be appreciated


To be honnest iv never done anything like this before and wasnt expecting the outcome to be as good as it was (not to sound big headed) so didnt really take pictures or videos of everything i did , thinking of it i could have helped alot of people and saved them a lot of money, starting to wish i did now !

It looks really nice. Thanks for sharing. (y) I can only assume that the cat was there to make sure everything went purrrrfectly. lol
The big thing about building a stand out of lumber is to use the right sized lumber. You might be able to make a nice looking stand out of 1 x 1s but it won;t hold a lot of water. ;) So for all you DIYers, make sure you know what you are building. Just thought that needed to be added. :whistle:

Once again, Good job Paul. (y)
