Sigh, I wish I could find the info, but 10 minutes of googling has produced nothing.
Anyone know the compression/load strength of a vertical 2x4? 2x6? 4x4? What about on a horizontal member? How much deflection is too much? I'd just like to see some numbers to make a point to people how strong some materials actually are when used properly. And how easily overkill is created.
Great thread, RocketEngineer. Ok, now how about a Ti stand template and calculator?
