This is a 200 gallon aquarium stand in a Steampunk or Jules Verne style.
It was basically like most of my projects, sketch start building, change design and complete.
It conssts of two towers that are 19 x 19 x 36 and a space between them that is 24 inches
The top is 6 feet of 3/4 ply mounted on a 2x6 frame with stringers.
The "rivets" are wood buttons. around 300 of them.
End panels are octopus graphics I found online and cut them 1/8 inch deep.
I carved everything on " best" quality not optimum. total carve time is about 15 hours. I still have to make the canopy and there are tw0 carved panels that will mount in the portholes.
There will also be an "airlock" door panel to cover up the space between the towers. It was a bit of a rush job. I have 7 days to make it. It was a surprise for a friend who is out of town.
I was going to drill the holes for the rivets with CW but I was spending too long trying to set it up. I used pegboard and a 1/2 bit in the end.
Thanks for looking
