    That is a pretty cool idea with the lights. I build a lot of stands so now I need to know how did you do it? How are they powered, and do they go to a switch?

    Also the idea of no loads on the screws is brilliant. That is a better stand than most would build.

    Nothing is powered yet but the lights will be on a switch and they will be LED's.

    For being under 100 bucks and it being very very strong I think it's perfect. Razz
