For all those folks out there that muck around inside amps, this is quite a nice little thing to have (I really don't know how I got around not using one for all these years). Finally, after borrowing someone else's fixed stand for so long (and having to adapt it to the various chassis sizes)--- I got one of these puppies.

With all the scrap lumber and oddball hardware stashed in the man-cave, I built my own. Prolly cost five or six bucks all told......

Very nice, but for $100? This is a weekend wood project for me, however I'm glad they offered this and sounds like it's working well for you.

Reminds me that I need to ditch one router I have, upgrade to the Porter Cable, and then use my dovetail jig to take a stab at building cabinets - maybe a 1x15 showman cab, for instance...

Wow! Now that is a "vintage" stand. Still has the left and right labels as well. :lol:

Actually, I do like the Weber stand. But $100 seems a little steep, Especially considering there really are not any fancy cuts. Although It does seem to have a few oval slots. Other than that price, it is a really cool product. And there are a lot of amp techs that don't know squat about woodworking. So, I can see a market for it.

Coffee nearly came out my nose when I read that!

Note to self: Don't drink coffee while reading the Fender Forum.
