This is just a table that holds a fish tank but I thought of it as the “fish tank cabinet.” Josephine asked me more than a year ago to make it and I finally got around to do so. Her old one was made of particle board and the water was causing some damage.
So I took some measurements, taking special care to make sure the baskets would fit in the new one. (I made a mistake writing them down and luckily J caught it a year later when I sent off the final draft, because otherwise this post would look very different!)
I made everything out of birch plywood, with birch edging glued around the top, and fir mouldings and legs. Doors are MDF.
I took my time with it, worked through a bout of Covid here and there, took a few days to paint it. Hinge are black piano hinge with magnetic catches. Here it is in all its fishy glory:
