Here's what I built with some leftover unistrut

Did the legs already have holes drilled? That looks like an even easier idea. You can just buy unistrut right? Is the price difference worth it for the time savings alone?
Uni-strut is pricey, IF you buy new. There's a place down the block that has used sections of it, for 1/2 price. You want to build a show room or functional work area?
I welded the ends together and all the horizontal pieces are bolted together with angle supports and unistrut hardware....very easy to break down and move if needed. Also welded unistrut nuts to the bottom of legs that are threaded so I can level it!!
Best of all.....I have abundant amounts of unistrut from jobs so my cost was FREE

Get out of here showoff!
This time around I realized that if I just screw two 2x4s together, it will perfectly locate the long 2x4 for me. This shelf went much faster, despite being more awkward to handle.

Not quite finished as I ran into another slight design issue. Unlike the garage door opener, I'll be cutting the power to relocate this one. Is this a 3-phase that I can hook a welder up to?

This was under $4 at Home Depot! Not even worth it apparently. Who sells the BEST phillips head bits? I'm tired of breaking them already. Pretty much everything I've purchased branded as HDX (Home Depot cheapo brand) sucks balls.

Seriously, thank you everyone that helped me out with this. Special thanks to T-Giv for all the wood, of which I still have quite a bit.
Irwin Ice bits are the best phillips tip bits. Don‘t use phillips. Use #2 square drive or a torx drive. One bit would do your entire project plus some. Proper predrilling will lessen number of broken tips too.
I pre-drilled everything. The two ruined on the right were from using a driver and happened immediately. The one on the left did that with the drill after several projects. I find using the drill is a lot easier on the bits. Thanks for the tip on tips. I'll pick some up next time I'm out.
