Plywood

Your idea with the mag panels would be another good option. I usually weld my hinges onto the stand before I paint it.

Okay okay. Next time I will get you to build it. :-)

What kind of sealer do you use. I am going to end up painting the plywood black.

If your going to paint the plywood I think you could just use a marine enamel without the sealer but it will not have a glossy finish, maybe it could be varathained after ward. For my own personal stands I use a MinWax wood conditioner & stain to match my decor.
