    This will be a 36" x 24" x 10" frag tank with an overflow along the back (36") wall and a 2" top euro.
    Not much for pics now, just rough-cut the pieces.  The walls will be 3/8" and top/bottom are 1/4".
    Next step is to square up the smaller piece, which will be the ends, then cut that in half.  I used to cut the pieces and then square them, but it dawned on me that it is much easier to square one piece, then cut it in half.  Always a learning process!

    No pics, just an update.

    All pieces cut, squared, and prepped. Just need to add teeth to the overflow and it's ready to begin.

    Mike (MJB, not Money Mike) made me take this pic. I ran out of weight and folding chairs was all I could think of. He insisted that the many soccer balls be put to use. He also threatened me with violence if I did not take and post this picture.
