      I want to make a stand.

      I know this seems Like nonsense/kid stuff to you big leaguers but I would like to save some money and have the satisfaction of building my own stand.


      Its a small project. a 20x20x21 cube tank. Anyone know of any diagrams I could use to build off of. I have a basic design that I will draw up once I get home from school but I'd like to know if anyone had any input.
      Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      Thanks
      -Anthony

      There's lots of DIY plans and stand pics on RC DIY forum, I'd look there first.

      dave and his biscut dowl. Or a nice chop saw or air stapler can make a big difference. A nice table saw makes the job even nicer.

      thats whats so cool about custom you dont need no stinking plans. you make the stand to what you want it to be if you want it 1 or 5ft of the ground how much border do you want. just draw what you think it should look like on paper and take it from there if you need some help hit me up i got some know how and plenty of tools.

      wow fadel's a nice guy. can you make mine too? =] im jk. we need more people like you.

      hey anthony, u shoulda checked out my setup when you came over .. i didnt know. i have a small setup like you. it aint much but it may have given you some ideas. did everything myself before discovering SDR, but it meets up with most sdr's general suggestions too which still surprises me. the glass is eye-level cuz im sick of short tanks. let me know if u wanna stop by again
