Nicely done. I always get a bit of a kick out of how solid we all build our stands. It is good that we do but pretty much every DIY stand we see is over built. Anyway, ignoring that little bit there, looks good and cant wait to see it come together.

I feel like I've ran into a wall... Anyone have any ideas on how to skin this stand? I'm no good when it comes to wood trims and finishing .

I'd like two front doors along with two removable side doors attached with magnets.

Just to add comment on the stand, when I first looked at the pic, I was shocked at how much wood you used!! That thing will hold a truck. With a tank in the bed. Full of rock. And lead. lol

I used mahogany plywood to skin mine, it was the cheapest finished ply I could get. Easy to work with, sands and paints well. I skinned across the front of mine then made doors to insert into the opening. Really easy, and I'm one that should take wood working classes!
