As regards rubber in the slots a cheap way would be to get some old garden hose and split it so it could be placed over the appropiate area's, you could glue it in place or use small tacks. if you only have green hose a paint job as you did with stand would be simple. I was trying to work out the dimensions as I can't afford pro membership just yet. I didn't even have a coke tin to measure ha ha. It is a very neat idea..I was a pro guitarist for over 45 years (Now retired at 68) well done.

Works perfectly.

Took me 4 hours to make with a handsaw using some 3/4" plywood I found in a dumpster.

Sanded it a bit, painted it black.

I'm a working guitarist in Hawaii and am already using this stand. It's as solid as a rock.

Thank you so much for your instructions!

Could be, I haven't tried this live yet. Rattle could be minimized by tight fit or even rubber in the slots, but you make some good points. It's not real practical for large amps. You might want to try the "African Chair" design. Glueing would make it less portable, which is important. In my first design, I screwed the cross braces on, but it took up too much space in my car, so I developed this as a way to break down easily. Thanks for the feedback.

cool, but it seems likely to rattle..... and the cabinet wouldn't couple with the floor too well, and that would effect your low-end. I would glue the stand together, and put rubber on the bottom.... but my cabs are huge, and i can't put them on stands.....
