    Looking to upgrade and have a stand made as part of that. I'm a tall guy and want something higher than the typical 30" height that I can find commercially available. Anyone on GIRS have a reputation for making quality stands?

    I'm working on plans to make my own stand to right now. Probably something I plan to do myself since tools are available.

    Depending on what exactly you need, it can be really easy to do. I just made a 2x4 and 4x4 skeleton with calculations done for me on the garf stand builder website. I will be skinning it with a higher quality plywood and painting it. I am no woodworker, but I would be happy to help you with it or let you borrow my tools if they can be of assistance. I should add that my tools consist of an electric drill/circular saw, a pocket hole jig, and an old table LOL. IMO the "difficulty" lies in how ornate you want to make thing. One can pre-purchase trim and the like making things much easier. Making trim, however, is not something I would have the tools/expertise for. It sounds like you are local too /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif We will be out of town here coming up soon until around the end of May, but I should be around after that for the rest of the summer.

    Fantastic. Thanks for the offer Bela. I wouldn't be looking to move on a stand until mid-June anyway, relocating to Clear Lake on the 1st and gonna be heading down south in the interim to do some diving in Cozumel /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif
