Do you have a pocket hole jig?

Yes. I'm so getting kicked out of the girl club.

Yes, the stand will have doors.

This stand might break a few "rules". I am confident I won't flood the floor. Well...until we plumb it.

Pocket holes are freaking awesome!! @dantimdad the silicone rings are nice, I have to take mine off overnight every now and then to let the skin breath though. Also, I had my first for about 1.5 yrs and had to replace it. They wear out if you use you hands to work.

I use my hands too.

I have a question about heaters. Any reason I couldn't use 2 300w heaters? A friend dropped 2 off hoping we could use them. I'm honestly not sure.

I was waiting for that, but it wasn’t coming from me.

@Rakie sent us a skimmer! Pics later! Thank goodness he picked it out. Takes the guesswork out on my end! It's amazing what a learning process this is!

Nice @Rakie !

I use two full sized heaters because I have been burned by them. A controller as well, as you know.

ITC 306T inkbird I think is what we need. I got the probe we won.

It's funny, the guy that left the heaters needed something we had several months ago. I had forgotten about it. I texted him a couple of weeks ago just curious if he had any extra heaters for sale. If we can use these, it will be a blessing for sure.

Andrew is getting obnoxiously excited. Lol.

I don't regret selling my bracelet for this build. It made some things possible that hippie kid wanted. Speaking of... don't let me forget an Echo Dot.

I don't see why not, especially if you have them ran by the ink bird. I run dual 300w on my 90, one primary and one back up.

If you had told me a year ago we'd have a tank build like this, I would have laughed.

Oh I missed one. Rings. I almost lost my finger because of my first wedding ring. I will wear my actual ring only when not working this time. I will get silicone rings when we get home from the honeymoon and wear those the rest of the time. It literally took years for that finger to function correctly again and I think, at my age, it would never recover if it happened again.

That being said, I believe in wearing one. It's a symbol and a needed on in my opinion.

As an Auto body tech, I wear my silicone ring Monday to Friday and my wedding ring on the weekends. My father was a mechanic and melted a portion of his wedding ring to his finger when he was doing some electrical work at his shop and never wore it again.
