conveting steel stand to wooden cabinet w/ existing tank?

[gonefishing]

is this possible? i mean hinde ba delikado na baka mabasag yun tank to think meron ng water? 'coz I asked the carpenter kailangan nila i drill yun tubular dahil doon i screw yun mga kahoy... natatakot ako pag nag drill baka mag vidrate at ma basag nga..thanks

mas maganda and madali kung wala pang tank para makagalaw at makapag ayus ng mabuti yung gagawa....

Kung vibration lang sa pag drill ng holes sa tubular eh hindi naman siguro mababasag unless may tumama sa aquarium mo

i dont think it will work..
drilling holes on the tubular stand will weakened the structure plus it will be a good start for rust to munch on your stand..

making a cabinet out of the metal stand is very much possible it has been done before but dont do anything on the metal stand.. just wrap wood around it..

you need to tumble up and down the steel stand in order to work easily...I have made my steel stand into a cabinet.no holes and drillings were made!

[palaboy]

sa tingin ko possible po iyan bossing
pero kung matatanggal mo pa yung tank e mas better dahil less risk tsaka
mas convenient sa gumagawa.. pakipost na lang po pics kapag natapos na..

suggest ko gawa ka nalang ng cabinet na same size sa ilalim ng stand then ipasok mo. simple di ba?

All of my tank stands are made up of steel frames, 3inches angle bar ginamit ko, nagawa kung gawing cabinet with steel frames yung mga stands ko dito without driling a single hole on them.

Its not a good idea if you drill holes on the steel frame. It will just weakend the material's tensile strength. IMHO

Depends on how good your carpenter is. Its hard to explain here, just to give you an idea, simple lang naman ginawa ko dito.parang binalot ko lang yung frames, its just like putting clothes on the body, make sure that they properly fit. As asthetics lang naman purpose ng wood, at wala silang ibang function kaya madali nalang. Importante malinis pagka gawa.

tama po si sir alain. Parang babalutin lang basta no drilling sa mga steel bars. Yung iba nilalagyan ng mga clip yung mga wood para ipit ipit lang yung iba naman special kind of glue etc...or depende sa carpenter kung anu mas prefer niya.
