Nice cabinet!Thanks! Took me almost half a day to complete it. This cabinet the actual length is 4ft plus. So i dismantled everything, measure it again, saw here and there, added it a wooden frame to make it more stronger. Finally success :D

Well Done!!!u paid for the cabinate or u did it yourself?:D :)I bought it long time ago, left it inside my store. So i decided to do some modification by sawing it to 3ft length (Actual length is 4ft plus) and reniforce it by installing in a wooden frame lor :D Better than putting it inside my store, can create more space for my store ;)

Can modify from shoe cabinet....... I have one old shoe cabinet. Can teach me how to do it? :DBasically, these are the equipments which you need to standby to diy your cabinet:-
1) Electric saw (Cut to size which you require)
2) Wooden pole (Frame)
3) Measuring tape (Basically to measure the length, height and width)
4) Nails (Nail the frame together)
5) Glue (Before nail, glue it to make the frame stronger)
6) Pencil (Marking)
After all marked and cut accordinly to your requirement, assembly them and paste the types of formega(Dun know the correct spelling) board, chose the pattern you want, stick on to them done!
*Thing to take note: The top part which you going to placing the fish tank, make sure the frame must be strong, in other word meant, best you can make three frame and it is more stronger and safe :)
