are you going to skin it out in plywood?

maybe do a sketch of want you want to and post it for feedback.

also maybe search for plans on the net for ideas.

Sorry. i should have been clearer on my last post. I have decided on the framing of the stand and will be skinning the stand. My question was about the DT itself. I have seen tanks with euro bracing but that would interfere with my light mounting. I am curious if i should put cross bracing across the top of the DT. the glass will be 1/2".

all things considered over build for piece of mind. the extra in wood for some cross bracing etc is well worth it
