John H. Shetler posted:Finished this 'sanding station' today. The base is from a junk switch plate bottom and the sand tank is actually a HO water tank that was in really rough shape. Definitely would look better on say a green felt. Thought of tabs to hold the Erector house but opted with the screws for changing the light bulb.
That's very cool. Did the water tank have those long legs or did you fabricate that? How did you do the word "sand".

The tank I bought at a Keystone Div. show and was assembled/soldered together. The previous owner stated he thought it was a kit you could buy years ago but that's all he could recall. If it was a kit, it sure looks like handmade versus mass production. The rods are copper and the sheet metal is tinned. Originally painted black but most of that was gone. The lettering I added is from a dry transfer sheet of various font sizes/styles.
