After I figured out the dimensions I wanted I bought
the 7 2×4x8 and started cutting them to size

I cut all the pieces by first taping the 2×4s together
to insure they would be the same size, I used a
table saw which helped getting straight cuts.

In this picture I aligned the front face of the stand
and used 2×4s to align and leave space for
other pieces I would use later.

Here the same pieces screwed, I also used wood glue.

Once the frame was completed I used 3/4″ plywood to
cover both the top and bottom of the stand, The top piece on ply wood
was the exact size of the frame and was screwed/glued in the bottom was
a trickier since I had to cut around the 2×4’s.

I used 1×4 to wrap the front and sides of the
top/bottom of the stand they cover the 2×4’s.
On the sides I used 1/4″ plywood, the right side panel is removable so I
could fit the sump.

I made the doors from 1/4″ plywood and the edges from
1×2x1/4 cut at 45 degree angles. I cut them again while taped to make
sure they were the same size.

I’m still working on this and will post more pictures
once I’m finished.

TIPS:
Use the same type of wood, I used poplar for the 1×4s, door edges and
the two vertical strips that you can see on the front and tried staining
it but it came out really horrible the color didn’t match the plywood
top or sides. It was blotchy and just ugly I almost broke the thing down
and gave up. I decided to paint the stand a wood color and by giving it
a very thin coat a achieved the color that you can see on the picture
I’m happy with it and will only clear coat it.

Its almost complete now, I have to place a piece of
wood in between the panels and paint it to hide the white color that’s
showing

Here’s the removable panel that will let me take out
the sump if anything happens. (Sump doesn’t fit through doors)
