Hey all.

I've been working on some ideas for an "Amp Cradle" to help with future amp repairs and rebuilds on the new bench. (Suggested by scruffy ) I hope you are doing ok scruffy. It would be great to see you back.

I was going to do a complete build out of (scrap) wood that I have left over from the bench. . . but I have this idea to use two computer monitor stands (for the support ends).

I have these two identical stands and they are very strong.

I've ordered some Delrin drop pieces to re-shape for the adjustable claw looking shelf pieces.

I'm not sure about the hardware, yet.

But I will share that as things develop.

As for the base, I hope to fix one of the two stands to a piece of 3/4 inch plywood and the other will be adjustable. The whole thing after that will be on a large diameter "lazy susan" (I hope), so after the chassis is secured, I can spin it around - without fear of tipping.

toobfreak - any thoughts?

MojoTone's version - Nearly $200

I know I can beat that and still have a decent cradle.
