Secondary use of wood

Well, this is probably my first such complex, difficult handmade item. It took almost the entire day to use a miter saw to cut out the elements for the first trestles. And only in the evening did I start trying on things to see if everything was right. Wood is really heavy. I can't imagine how much this would weigh. It looks big in the photo, but it's actually quite compact. When I'm finished, this will primarily be used as a work stand for a large panel of wood slices (1.25 x 2.5 meters). Then it will have quite a few different uses. It can be the base for a removable tabletop, a small ladder, a clothes drying rack... and of course, a small workbench. And due to its weight... oh... it could be an indestructible thing if it is properly protected from moisture, reinforced at the bottom of the "legs".
