bfrench Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Wondering if anyone has recommendations for a fabricator ego makes metal stands? Anyone in the club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 My brother in law is a professional welder in town and welded me an awesome stand. I then had it powder coated at Diamond Powder coating and it's the best stand I've ever had. I can ask him if he'd be interested in welding one for you if you're interested. You can see some pictures of my stand on my build thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosslonghorns Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Tagging along as I may be interested in a metal stand. We're in the process of discussing an upgrade. Side question...how do you handle leveling of a metal stand? Are threaded feet added to bottom to aid in leveling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SChrisEV Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Not to steal a brother-in laws thunder but I used Iron Heart Wlding little over a year ago for my stand, you can see it in my build thread (see signature). He did a great job at a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did a great job at a good price. Do you have any spacer between the bottom of metal stand and your flooring? How did you level it? Side question on attaching your facade. Did you use magnets or is it just free standing? If free standing, after you added the doors any issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised. As for the facade, I build it so it can slide into/out of place. The doors I actually have not finished, really slacking on that, but on the front hinges, the sides, because I wanted them to be flush, I'm using rare earth magnets and trim (wood) to keep the doors in place and can pull them off as needed. I don't want to talk over bfrench's post, be happy to help, either post on my build, or PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
