Thanks for the reponse Splat, I also examined your design more carefully and having 4x of 609126 is gonna make it pretty ugly. I've only ordered enough parts to make 1 stand, I want to try it out first. I really like this design (I googled for a while) so thank you for sharing!
I'm going to bricklink the 4125550 that I'm missing I think. (EDIT: Nevermind, the price on it is way too much right now for my purposes...basically makes it really difficult to build it)
Lastly, is the grey 8 x 12 plate not available? I looked everywhere and could not find one.
