^^^^superb shot mate! And great build, I need someone who live closer to make me one of these lol! Really good thread.

Thanks, the cabinet is really easy to make mate took me about 2 hours I guess then about an hour to stick the laminate on. Measuring and drilling the pilot holes is what takes the time plus I had to keep sticking my drill battery on charge lol

Danny, how easy is it to work with the veneer? Debating a new stand build for a custom optiwhite. Have done a stand before but can't decide whether to try the veneer route, want as clean lines as possible and think veneer will help but concerned that it also has the potential to cock up the most.

I have less patience than a 2 year old with ADHD lol It's really quite easy mate to be honest as long as you take your time.

 

[Danny]

The tank now with the cabinet still going strong.

Ahhh you have more patience than me then 🙂 I'll do a bit more research on t'internet before ruling in or out but thanks for coming back so quickly. Tank looks great by the way.

 

[Danny]

At only about £8 a roll from B&Q it is worth a shot mate 🙂
