That's really cool and takes up far less space than the stand like this I bought BITD:

that's pretty neat, I had imagined something sort of like that but just out of wood, and from looking at his photos: you could make one with 3 pieces of wood and no fasteners: the sides would be similar shape, if a bottom connector piece was cut correctly it would have cutouts that slide into cutouts in the side pieces and the weight of the amp on the connector piece would keep it all together. I'll ask my 92 year old dad to make me one! - he'll even paint it green for me like he does to everything he makes.  Of course the downside to having 3 pieces and no fasteners is the inevitable "where's that missing piece?" moment.

I have an early version of that one where the uppler L parts don't fold down, it does take up quite a bit of space and stays home most of the time. I bought a $10 folding tiny one from sweetwater, and usually wedge/lean the small amp up against a wall or fake potted plant.

Mine doesn't fold down either. I brought it down from the attic to set up my combo in the new music room / office. The amp isn't that large, but it was nearly in the middle of the room sitting on that thing. I put it back up in the attic.

Makes me miss my old SF Twin Reverb with the factory JBLs. My back doesn't miss it, but I do.

Looks like a good deal. Count me in. I DO like the Atlas stands for use with head/cab amps to achieve the same effect, but they are a lot more expensive......I have made replicas and like them a lot.....There are advantages to having your own shop!

I especially like your complimentary head stand eliminating the need for the Fender Piggyback bits on top of the cabinet. Nicely done!

You can probably tell from the top picture, but the back support folds down and the head support stacks with it.....Very easy to  transport for gigs.

Still, the Kickstarter version would be a great choice for a combo amp and a heckuva lot less $$.

The adjustability shown on the Kiclstarter page really sells it. Tell your pal he's got a winner.
