Thanks, Andrew! I’ll be sure to make the base at least that wide, but I might just bolt it down.
Thank you again.
If you bolt it down, you still need a decently wide flange or base. The typical cast flanges sold commercially are inadequate for the side loads stands generate, and will looses, rock, or tear up your floors.
Figure you need about 1 foot for either through bolting on a wooden floor or using solid anchors in concrete.
