Note my cardboard insta wedge has the back edge of cab sitting on the floor. It cannot collapse without being crushed as the returns would have to push the cabinet upwards for them to move sideways.

Hi everybody,
This is my first post on TB, after about a decade of intermittent lurking.
I like my bass amp a bit raised and tilted up. Recently I had an idea for a lightweight and collapsible stand design, and last weekend I finally built a prototype -

The strap should have velcro (not there yet), to serve as a packing device when the stand is disassembled. The two rectangular openings also serve as carrying handles in the “packed” configuration.
This is still a work in progress, and clearly, has many imperfections - I have very limited experience in carpentry, and used only a jigsaw and hand files. But I am quite pleased with my first attempt so far ;-)
More photos and discussion (for those of you who read Hebrew...) here.
What do you think? Any ideas for improvement?

See above. For some reason I cannot edit it.I want to see the @Downunderwonder cardboard box amp stand..!
But this is pretty cool. Nice work!
Everyone missed the essential word in my comment.
Copy.
Anyone wanting something similar minus the precision slot angle work can COPY it with a hinge instead.
Yes. A better copy would eliminate the parts above the crossover and put the hinge there.@Downunderwonder - could you please explain what do you mean by "copy"? I thought you meant something like this:
