Looks pretty nice to me Brett!
What did it cost you to build the stand/cap?

Cheap cheap mostly. These are guesses I don't recall exactly...

2 sheets of 1/2" ply - $72 (Used 1 and maybe 1/4 of the other)
paint and primer - $30
24' of moulding - $20
wood filler - $5
drawer slides - $30

So maybe $150 ish?

Thanks dood.

Please note I've totally given up on those 'must do' things like sealing the inside of stands and canopies. Whatever...I think that's hogwash when the stand can hold a car and my builds are only up for a few months at most haha.
