That design works prettry well for most tank stand with 2x4s no need to use 4x4. If just one 4x4 in your support legs twists, turns or wraps you're !@#$% big time. Having said that, 2x4 also warps but the margin is very small by using multiple 2x4s in one support leg. Another plus point of using 2x4 is that you don't need bunch of tool to work with in the first place as stated.

The template seems very useful when it comes to making DIY stand. And if one doesn't have power saw, those pieces can be easily cut to size at HD no sweat.

I wouldn't make any stand using 4x4. The thought of it warping in one leg gives me chill in the spine.

In the end, one still has to decide what materials to use which best suit in his/her application.
