hi everyone,
i would like to make a stand to raise my milling machine up about 35cm off the workbench so the beds at a better height.
whats the best way to do this?
are there stands that are readily available or would it be better to try and make one?
it would be pretty nice if i could make one with draws in to stash milling cutters and whatnot but im wondering how to keep the stand rigid enough if im going to make one with storage compartments in it.
this is the milling machine that i have

its not the biggest but i obviously dont want it falling over whilst in use.
any ideas would be greatly apreciated as well as material recomendations.
regards
james
