Nate, here's some pics of a stand I built (supervisors are sitting on the couch...the only one helping me was the short brown skinny guy with the label:D)

It'll give you an idea of a simple 2x4 stand. I've added some triangle gussets to it as well in order to stabilize it too.

May be a little late to the party with this one, but if you want a nice looking open design there is a plan for a workbench from fine woodworking magazine, which would almost certainly be strong enough, and actually looks pretty good if built from decent ply as in the article..

The shelves underneath are optional.
