OK cool.  I can make it :)

I experimented today replicating my A-frames from earlier but with very light material, lighter than superstrut.
It was all they had in the stores I went to...  No good old ungalvanized steel like the previous one.

This material might be good for a cheap base, but is iffy.  I thought it would be good because it can be cut bolted together, but
I think the overall strength is just a little below what is needed.  Maybe someone at the meeting can bodge them together in a stronger config :)  at least I came up with some basic measurements.

c yall tmw,
-Noah
