DIY Is fun. And, I can use all the tools I bought for my bike modification.

Tools used: Bosch Drill gun, Fixed with a cutter wheel with the help of a fat nut and bolt.
Board Material: PVC sheet, remaining material from the recent construction work at home/
Electricals: 2 x Chokes for PLL tubes, 2 X 36 W PLL tubes, One plug, hell lot of wires. :D

Here's how it started, the PVC sheet is double layered, so can take a good amount of weight:

Connected the chokes on the top:

1...2..3... checking:

Sits snugly on top of the tank:

This is my first DIY, so please excuse the shoddy craftmanship :mrgreen:

Cheers,

Karthik

not bad for first time..you should have covered lights on all four sides as a lot of light is leaking out. I dont think that black tape will hold on to those lights for long, better get som proper pll holders. They cost 10rs each

PVC sheet looks interesting, how much does it cost?

p.s..I am impressed by set of tools, especially that victoriknix ;)

Thanks Hamza. I'll do something and cover it up. Never thought about that :(

I'll post a pic of the tools. ;)

Nice DIY. But I thought it is not durable as you fixed the chalk with tape.
