I noticed that in the stand you screwed your vertical 2x4's on the inside of the top and bottom frame. is it possible to screw the vertical 2x4's on the outside of the top and bottom frame?

Smeesus,

I am sure you could do that, as long as you have the 3/4" plywood nailed into the vertical supports.
