What did you use for the bands?

[markn]

The tank is a large peanut can, covered with tongue depressors (medical quality ones not the hobby store variety-I suspect at best they are medical grade rejects)-they are a very good, clean hardwood. I put a 1/4 x 1/16 flat of styrene on the can to glue the slats to in addition to the narrow metal band at the top and bottom of the can. The bands are 1/8" ? dia styrene rods joined with a 1" section of tubing to hold them/simulate the turnbuckles. The stand is 5/8" sq hardwood pieces from Home Depot Trim/moulding department--rabbeted/dadoed glued/nailed--you can't see it in the picture ( I'll get the 12 year old to explain sizing pics) but the top is open except for a small ring od shingles-I use it for a planter-I'll try to get some better pics posted
