So thanks to the help of several forums members and a special thanks to turtle lady for the original I completed my very own stand today! The lashing which I shied away from at first turned out to be supremely simple and relaxing to do. I used 3/4" emt conduit for the uprights and the top rail is from a chainlink fence. I forgot to grab anything for spread limiters so I just grabbed a few bits of whatever and lashed them on. I used some diamond braided polyester rope for the lashings. I polished it off with some long continuous loops of 7/64" amsteel. I highly recommend giving it a go if you've thought about making a stand. Total cost= $45 including cordage and sales tax
