Here are some photos from my plywood laminated-style stand. The construction is made up of 3" wide birch 3/4" plywood strips, that are laminated into 1.5" beams. This strategy lets me always have side-grain to screw and glue with- I will have a photo below of what a section looks like.
@JoshH I was reading your thread and I read that you might be planning on making a stand, which is why I decided to share here
The plan:
Cutting down the plywood into 3" strips:
Starting assembly- you can see all the screws in the side panel.
This is what the upper corners look like. You can see how the plywood boards ALL overlap for strength :
And then gluing on the top! The streaks on the sides are just wood filler, filling in the screw holes and wood defects.
And then here it is with a few coats of paint- I wanted to sand it down one more time and put on a final coat .
After paint, with neoprene on top. Note that it is sitting flat; the apparent "gaps" on the feet are just the chamfers that prevent the wood from splitting.
With back panels, before I removed them and turned them into side panels:
Final layout:
