No offense intended here, but one hits the point of diminishing returns 
fairly quickly when building their own custom stands.

Companies like Jaspers specialize in making stands and do nothing else.

One basically has to repeat everything they did, on a small scale, just 
to get what is already available.

The benefit to pro stands is that they are modular and moveable and 
warrantied.

I can understand doing something custom in the situation where a room is 
permanent and the gear is not moving.
