Benny Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Building my own aluminum tank stand. 48"x24"x46" I am tig welding the whole thing. Using 2"x2" square tube for the uprights, and 2"x3" for the top and base. The frame will be visible and I will use a light wood for the panels. I already cut and prepped all the aluminum, and started welding up the stand. Should be finished this evening. Will also be adding a light rack when I am finished. Didn't thing of it till I already started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timfish Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Looks really nice! Having seen steel stands for tanks 10X the size use only 1" square tubing it looks like you went for some serious overkill there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes is it is overkill. 2x2 and 2x3 aluminum is beefy haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
