It'll be cheaper to buy one pre-made. I spent about $350 in wood alone for mine and probably 40 hours to build it.

hey dave, I would love to help you bud, It would have to be after my busy season is over though. I havent even been able to finish building mine. If you can wait lets see how you like mine, it will be similiar in size. Cee is right though on the money side. depending on how you are going to finish it. My stands are usually very expensive lumber but im using alot of solid oak and 3/4 oak plywood. if you were gonna point it you could build one alot cheaper.

Rev
Dayton stand company is the BOMB....
The stand for my 120 came from them and I couldn't be happier,built alot better than my AGA modern series stand on my 75.

Rev, my husband built my stand. It's out of red oak. You can look at it. He might consider building one for you, but like Bryan said, it wouldn't be cheap. The wood's expensive and my husband (unlike Bryan) would charge for labor.....
