homemade extruder standard

I tried out my new homemade extruder stand I mentioned a week or so ago and
it works great no problems at all. Also like the little table that I built
with it to catch the extruded clay.
The legs are spaced wide enough for me to stand between and are long enough
to brace it.
I may still try to put some rollers on it that will lock down to see how
that works so I can roll it around.

Why not make it simpler and put fixed wheels on it in such a way that when
you tilt the extuder stand forward or backwards (or whatever), you have
wheels, when the stand is upright, it rests on the legs.

I think this would be much more stable.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that
we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only
unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American
public." --U.S. President (and Nobel Peace Prize winner) Theodore
