While a very simple design, it should give you a starting point.

i am currently building a stand for my 180..(6x2x2) i decided to make it out of 2x2 and 2x3 steel square tubing.. it is almost done and ready to be painted...it offers way more room than a wood stand.

garf.org for the "blueprint" of the stand, then you can skin it anyway you want. Unless you want to get really wild with your idea. check out google sketchup to draw your idea and then make it. i used the garf.org for my stand. It is built like a tank, i used 2x4's for the framing. Good luck
