So, I took a stab at designing the stand using 3060 (3" x 6") 8020, Inc. Aluminum. Here are the results:

The parts list does not include any machining or hardware to actually put the stand together. It seems this stand would easily be over $2,000 and just seems to be overkill. That being said I'd still love to have any feedback on whether the stand would be structurally sound as designed or if I am missing something.
