Bench grinder stands ideas/experiences

Ha that double decker bench grinder definitely is something I would hate to catch a drill bit to the face from that set up but hey if it works it can't be wrong right?

The Okanagan so mostly tolko's and canoe plywood aswell as werhouser and downie timber most mills are slowing shutting down or being condensed it's cheaper to send raw lumber to states to get kilned and planed some how.
