Re: DIY aquarium stand lots of photos - first ever woodworking project So I drew the calculation for the 4x8 birch plywood. One sheet covers the whole thing. The top was added first Then the bottom: As we don’t have compressor and nail gun, I used elbow grease and I loved doing it I loved nailing the plywood to the 2x4s. In Hungary, I have actually never seen a finishing nail punch and I just loved hiding the nails with the punch I used 3d 1 ¼ nails. A lot Then I used wood filler to cover the tiny holes. Then we added the back: The sides: And the front… that was the trickiest. As originally we wanted to cut the holes out from a whole front sheet (we cut it up into top, bottom and 3 columns instead) there was nothing to hold the center piece… So we had to make something for it. Finally it was done.
It has some kind of chicken pox… I guess… too many nails…
