What are your thoughts on the Hagan push-thru caps? I'm considering using those for my tanks and I don't know anybody who has used one. Until now. I like the idea.

So This style of cap has a thick rubber ring that seals tight into the collar. I also made the bowl hole large enogh that it should pass any water that gets into the bowl. The push button style of cap where you press it down and spin it works until water gets into in and when you push it down the suction wont release it.

I didn't make these stands I just did the finish on them years ago. I have 4 of them that I used to use for shows when I did that kinda thing. It's a flashback to pull them out of the dust and clean them up. The guy who carved them cut the base of a 15' wide cedar log then cut that into 4 pieces....then recarved each one of those into logs with the faces in them....They have to weigh like 80 lbs a piece and they are brutal to move around but they sure are differnt and I like differnt lol.

I forgot to mention I got the rear glass in ....It's a dark green tint and I think it looks evil with that sinister green I have going on. I was never a fan of green but it sure has growen on me since I started this build.....Today is the 12th.....and I have to have this thing in my booth for the 17th before 5pm. I sure wish I had another week.....lol

That once in awhile you see something you like so much ya can't help but go " Oh man I wanna do that " So I broke down and bought some exhaust manifolds that I saw on Dino's builds....I fricken dig them..lol....So full disclosure to Dino..lol
