Stay tuned and I build one. i will post pictures.
Stephan - Great initiative!

The consensus from Directors, including Michael J., is that if you can build one stand to start with (including height modification - see below), the club will refund you (expense receipts required, please). Then we can look at feasibility/cost of building more. It will almost certainly cost more than $50 as the Design BoM was out of date and was in $US.

A couple of points made by the Directors:

- if you inform members when and where you plan to build this (and include BoM), you may get offers of assistance/material donations from other member(s).
- the design you proposed is too low (only 2 feet high) so the first step is to modify the design as the platform needs to be at least as high as the present ones.
- consider using materials recoverable from the existing stands, if feasible.

When you are ready, get in touch with me for reimbursement.

Good luck.
