I make some that are all welded 30 x 30 platforms. I could snap a couple of pics with the digital if you want. They are heavy duty, absoutley silent, and they can be made for $30 or so. They are heavy though. The top is made of expanded metal and it's held on with a heavy duty turn buckle. They are first class rigs. Let me know if you want to see one.
I'm a freaking CPA, not a welder!!
Saw this a little late....lol
