Dave, I'm not in anyway trying to critize your work, but please take a look at those 2 2x4s holding that box up. They look very stressed and could break at any time. May be time for some 2x6s and long lag bolts at the very least. It's not a good feeling when one lets go and can lead to severe injury or death. We've had some close calls with old lumber in trees, but been lucky to not suffer injuries. A lady at work's son had his old wooden ladder give way on him a few years back and even though it was a short fall, he fractured multiple vertebrate(sp?). The Drs told him he was very lucky to get a brace for a few months instead of a wheel chair for life.

Nice stand btw.

Here's one I threw together a few years back:

Plexi in tracks and all seems lapped to keep the wasp out in the summer.

Have a good one,
