90 Gallon DIY cabinet

[Dharma]

Here are a few shots of the 90 gallon cabinet we are currently building. Constructed out of 2x3's and 1/2" birch plywood.

The last coat of stain will go on today and it will be ready to be moved into the house.

Very nice! I dind't4 learn until later that I WAY overbuilt all of my stand with 2x4's. Stands can literally be built with 1x3- 1x4 material and 1/2" Sandy ply birch or similar if done right. Pilot holes and countersunk with wood glue and the rigidity is amazing!

yes for sure... Even the 2x3's are an over build. But for some reason I just cant go the 1X route, I like knowing its just a little bit stouter than it needs to be.

Finally got the door knobs, so here is the finished product.

Thanks Danny! Thought they were a nice addition to the stand.

I agree. but as far as the strength, a single pine 2x4 can handle up to 4000lbs of vertical pressure!

So taking in regards to strength using a even a pine 1x3 glued and countersunk screwed perpendicular, lengthwise that 90 degree union will be very sturdy at each corner. And then add glued and screwed birch to the outside of that frame. The strength is awesome. At least I feel so. lol- I haven't done it yet but my understanding of it now makes me feel very confident that when I build one like this it will have no problem rising to the occasion.
