exactly what i was thinking. if you build a stand for this tank, there is someone lurking on here that can "anvil test" it for you. tanks4life - just do a forum search for "anvil test", you'll get a good laugh out of the 285 build.

Allen had the best answer for the safety factor. In general, when talking about anything being engineered, a safety factor is for the variables you can't take into account. You design for a perfect system and then add extra just to be safe. It's just a fancy technical term for over-building it 2x,3x,4x more than required.

Sounds good to me.
