Hey quader94, that will be a purchase in the next couple months. I don't really trust my meter. I always take a sample of water to my lfs and they use a refractometer and it's always a couple hundredths higher.

And I have decided to build a new stand within the next couple days. I'll post pics .=)

Here is the link. Happy building!! FYI, I had never done any type of wood working, building and it all went together easily.

Here is one picture of the semi finished product. I still need to add one more coat of stain and poly it.

Looks great! I'm really liking that ebony finish on the poplar.

That looks great! I'm setting up a 29 also and have been considering adding a hood. Yours looks like something even I could build...maybe! I like an open top, but, I need to upgrade my lighting in the near future and a hood will allow for more options...as in something to hide my scary ghetto diy lighting combinations.
