bigkid posted:One recommendation, be careful about the wood you use, it may be worth the cost to use a hardwood for the legs and frame if you can afford it, the plain lumber at the big box stores is pretty dismal. To even find pieces that aren't warped is a miracle and takes more than a bit of effort. At the very least, treat yourself to hardwood for the legs, as someone on this board told me, might be easier for the girders using the cheaper lumber.
Exactly right. I bought some red oak lumber at a saw mill. Even lumber at lumber yards is junk. Seems like they all get their lumber from the same supplier. Even good plywood is hard to find.
