Ah NICE! Look at the craftsmanship! Looking good Carlo! I really like seeing this all come together after so long of us talking about it.

Make sure you put shims in the appropriate spots like the corners to make sure that the stand wont' have pressure points. Looks like the floor at the corners have a gap. You'll want to use wood shims or something hard that will fit perfectly in there. The center of the stand looks to be right on the floor.

You are right. I think that the shims will work perfectly.

Nice work GM...looks like you've been using a pocket jig to screw your joints together...I've been wanting to get one for ages but I don't really do enough to warrant the expense atm...maybe one day

I really like the function. I don't mind countersinking the screws on the outside but this would be a nice tool to use. Where'd you pick yours up at, amazon?
