New complete build for a good friend. From start to finish.

I would like to see what you use. Thank you for the offer Brett.
I do have a welder, mig & tig; I was planning on picking up some 2" square aluminum Friday and building a stand that will fit in my spray cabinet. Will build an additional stand to free up my vises for other work.
This is working fine for this one, but a pain in the butt....

From the top down...
Drill cap 1/4×20 bolt 5-6" washer and nuts to lock it down run 2 nuts down half way and tighten strip remaining threads above nuts. I wrap 3/4" tape to fit into pillars counter sink but not touch stock.Resized_20240702_214021_1719981626784.jpeg
Black pipe tacked into square tubing...Resized_20240702_213815_1719981499998.jpeg
You'll need a hand for attaching the feet to hold center of stand on a chunk of 2x4 with a level to keep things plumb, mine are 1x2 scrap 12" long, tack both sides at bottom then fill the gap with wire.
Now before y'all bust my ballz remember I'm a painter 1st, grinder second, a welder I'm not!!Resized_20240702_214115_1719981688429.jpegraising the center gives clearance for washing down the floor and no wobble of stand.
Stand are strong yet light/easy enough to move without removing stock.
I carried this across the driveway just to see it in the sun as soon as clear was out of dust20241205_155930.jpg
