Carl, endless thanks! I've got a HF tool stand sitting around doing nothing, and a go-bar array that seems to always be in the wrong place. OBOY!

If you do that, Peter, notice the bottom deck is a rigid system with cross pieces about 2"- high. This has no flex for resisting the go-bar pressure and provides storage for the bars and F-clamps. Also the 4" blocks at the top of the corner supports can be alternated above or below the upper deck (how they are now) for either gluing braces, or gluing the top and back on. I put extensions on the threaded rods to do that.

Carl, I did notice. Thanks for the heads-up. No harm in making sure. This is a dandy shop-improvement topic, I strung up my most recent project Sunday night and the shop's between guitars.
