3/4 at 4foot X 4foot is around 440 lbs

And would cost 440 dollars or more hahaha. I found a site that has different heights and widths cut to foot length and what I wanted would be $75 before shipping. No thanks.

Oh so you do know how google works, sweet!
Also that's an investment the price of steel just keeps rising.

Your set up is precisely that same as mine with a couple modifications and 2 other exceptions. The 2 exceptions are 2 25 lb dumbbells that i place a top the table to stabilize the table. Secondly, i have 2 thin pieces of wood vainer that i slip in-between the table and the wheel on top and under the clamps and table on the bottom. I was finding that i was tightening the clamps so tight that the plastic table top would begin to bend (be crushed) by the pressure. putting wood there helped displace the direct pressure from the clamps. (I actually broke one of the clamps and now use a c clamp to hold it to the table.) Works for me..i'm able to whip the wheel around when i need to, with confidence.
oh ya , DP...just nail the table legs into the floor and be done with it...and im really surprised you haven't thrown a brick through your TV with them sitting right there... that's some control there bro.

I used to have a simple cross table as well, but it didn't have those bars on the bottom. To prevent sway I put two ottomans on the sides. Also had the same bricks on top to hold it all down. Worked for GT5 until I got what I have now a little before GT6 arrived. I've been improving it ever since. What I'm most happy with is the snaking of wires to the sides so it looks clean. Next I'm gonna spray paint it all black so the wood and everything is one color.

.shoot me now........ Put me out lf my misery.
Personally, I think you should do some research on your own. Google and you tube will answer everything you are asking. I built my rig which takes up a 3/5 ft. floor footprint for about twenty dollars with left over wood from other projects. Got a friend with basic skills, get him or her to help. The most money I spent was on a VW Jetta seat for 30 bucks. Seriously, it took about three total hours to design and build my set up. Aero can attest to it's strength. Kind of hard to do when you live at home........in the basement, in the dark, strune with dirty kleenex, with the spiders and the mice and who knows what.
Wait, sounds like my place, except I pick up the kleenex.

You're so funny, you must be one of the coolest kids ever 
I really like the Ricmotech designs and they too are simply just wood cut to template shapes. I can therefore customize as I go to make it exactly how I want. Thanks for the help guys.

I based mine on the ricmotech design, so easy to copy, no plans, just common sense and forty pounds of wood screws......this sucker ain't going nowhere. I would post a pic, but I am a cool kid, I don't do that. I just race.

Yes, I was able to find some websites but nothing in person. Still no luck with that but it's okay as it's not really needed. I was gonna go that route but I'm seriously overthinking it.

Here we have the second place holder!
Ok, I get it. I'll quit being 'that guy' and posting random and unrelated posts. It's OK, I know I've been pretty loose about things.
Just one more though....
Tonight I stand as a man in with a choice to make. On yesterday's Criaigslist, IT was there. IT is a '70s era Celica in beautiful condition. 1976 GT to be specific. The color is perfect. The car is perfect. The wheels are perfect. It's gorgeous. It's a freaking Toyota. I have seen it a few times in town and each time drooled over it from afar, wishing that I could have it. Now... I could. The dilema? I want it. But I don't need it. I've been seriously considering an AWD Rav4 hybrid for months. Which is practical. But now I have been truly tempted by the passion fruit. Oh, what to do...

I've found in recent years that I've gained a significant appreciation for classic imports. Maybe because I like things that are "different" and those aren't things I see much of. Classic muscle is common here in the rust belt. I see that stuff all the time in the summer. I thought I saw an old Honda S500 earlier this year... Nearly broke my neck.

You didn't get the joke lol, just quote everything you want to say in one post, don't make 4 posts consecutively, unless you really feel like there's a need to do so. (Example: Snail Combos link | Off-topic discussion)
@STEAMER62 Come back and be the official fish slapper pls.

Yeah me! First impressions are very good indeed. I downloaded the game after our practice session so it was late and I didn't get to explore a whole lot but it was so much better an experience than I had when I first picked up PCars.
The first car that was available to me was the Ferrari FXXK so I was jumping in at the deep end but it felt very intuitive and despite the car's extreme performance it handled very predictably. Unlike the Audi R8 we were practicing with earlier!
Graphics and sounds seem very good and I'm looking forward to a much longer session tonight. Will keep you informed 👍
