Nice writeup. I'm sure this will come in handy to people building their first stands. It's very similar to how I built mine.
One thing to add...
If you plan to put plywood on top of the bottom frame then two more blue pieces should be put in at the 1/3 and 2/3 locations on the bottom orange rails. This would be beneficial to keep the plywood from warping over time if a sump was put down there.
Otherwise you could place the bottom frame on top of the plywood.
