Randy, yes, I made that amp stand sometime back. How do you like it? Weighs a ton!

Thanks, playwood underneath. Used deck screws to secure to it.

Thanks, 30' of the octopus is for my dedicated floor sweeper you see hanging on the wall. It allows me to vacuum sweep the entire length of the shop.

George, it is outstanding! It made an immediate and significant improvement. I cannot imagine how microphonics could affect a solid state amp, but they clearly did because your amp stand eliminated them. I highly recommend this amp stand.

Love woodworking -- my Dad had a 30'x30' foot detached shoppe --

Wonder why I see "X's" instead of photos (WIN setting??)

George,

Very nice workshop. It's tidier than my music room.

Would love to have one of those maple platforms
