Thanks so much!Nice sump Niterunner!
I made my stand for about $50 lol
I nailed some 2x3 together to make the top.
And bought some inexpensive sawhorse legs from IKEA .
What do you think about using Baltic Birch Plywood? I'm thinking about using it, since it's beautiful and stronger than normal plywood. Although, it's a lot more expensive.I build all of my stands with 3/4"oak plywood. I use pilot/screws alternating with spec sized holes for dowel and glue. Between the screws and the glued dowels, there won't be a problem. I am a mechanical engineer and have a good intuition on loading and such but if you are reasonable.... I have 100 bucks in plywood and a little bit of glue/hardware/paint in this....
The first pic is upside down, notice the floor is fully boxed and attached from all sides.
The second pic is reinforced in the for aft direction and boxed above the large opening in the front to mitigate loading around the front opening.
Its solid as a rock for under $150 and a few afternoons by the time its painted.
Just note if you buy through Amazon you will pay full list price. Go through the Tslot website and find a distributor, the process take a little longer but will save you tons of cash. For example a connector I needed was 9.97 on Amazon and through the distributor the same piece was 3.47, so it's worth going through the distributor.This is what my stand uses
