Hmm, Stands in Germany are made from an engineered MDF type wood but with an epoxy base so it doesn't warp when wet, they are very heavy and very solid. Either that or it is Aluminum that is powder coated. I wound't feel comfortable with this motion and would probably see if you could brace the stand a bit more. An X brace in the back would probably do it. I have seen the pine stands in the past that you could lift tham and they came apart because the brads had missed their mark in places. The other option is to diminish the wave height slightly by tuning the driver, rotating the screen on the pump or sliding the sponge over the inlet.
I mainly like comedies, my movie collection stuff like Airplane and Super Troopers. Flash Gordon though is probably the best movie in a more serious nerve. I like it because Flash and Dr Zharkov exemplify what makes humans great and it is a great lesson in morality and self sacrifice for the greater good. That was actually the purpose of the original comic characters from King Features, Popeye as you may know was another comic of theirs and they were propaganda for America in the end of the great depression, beginning of WWII. Popeye was also largely paid for and sponsored by the spinach farmers of America as it was an easy to grow crop that a lot of farmers switched to but wasn't used for much more than cattle feed and fetched little money.
