Large Pentagon Build
So about a year ago I cut out a base plate for a viv and never did anything with it until about last week. When I cut it the only thing i could think it looked like was the superman symbol.....used to watch alot of smallville....Walking around Animal Jungle and I saw a nice pentagon glass aquarium and it hit me it was a pentagon....duh....regardless.....I had ALOT of wood left over from a build at work so they donated it to me and the build began.
First I made a base frame for storage that failed to hold up without the base plate that i later Installed.
I am much farther on this but didn't photo any of it.
The hardest part was using a table saw my wife bought on craigslist for $20 that was missing the rip fence and how inacurate the 45 angle cut lengthwise was for the front of it. I took a board cut a 45 acrossed its length and butted it up against another board with the standard 90 degree to make an outside angle of 135. This became even more difficult to attemp to make with the actual enclosure part. I will post more pics after work today. It now stands about 64" and still doesnt have a canopy top made for it. Still working on interior design, water feature, heating/lighting and other ideas.
I am very open to any suggestions as I have been stressing alot of interior thoughts.
