OK here is what I have so far...All 2x4 joints were accomplished using Gorilla Glue, and Pocket Screws. http://www.kregtool.com/products/pht/product.php?PRODUCT_ID=32">http://www.kregtool.com/products/pht/product.php?PRODUCT_ID=32</a> was used for the pocket jig, and 2" pocket screws used as well...
The stand is now on its back...and the front left side is being skinned with the 1/4" Oak Ply. This is a view from the BOTTOM side looking down at the front...remember it is laying on its back. In order for the grain to work...this has to be done in two phases.

This is a look at the front, from INSIDE the stand, top looking down inside. you can se that even though I am making a 4' wide door...the front corners are each supported by 2 2x4's each. In the end, the stand will have a 2x4 support in each corner, the front will have 2 more 2x4's 1 foot in from the sides, and the back will have an extra support in the middle.

This is a look at thefront un-skinned side. You can see here, that before I skinned the box eith oak, I used 1/4" Ply first. You will note that the ply is screwed all along the perimeter, and is also screwed into the support added 1 foot inside the 6 foot stand, creating a frame for the 4' Opening. Liquid nails was also used to augment the screws.

Here is one portion of the skinning...for the 6 foot stand, I was able to skin the front with a vertical grain by matching up 2 L shaped pieces from the same sheet of Oak plywood. I am using Paneling glue (comes in a caulk tube like liquid nails), and screwing the top and bottom edges with deck screws again. I can use screws here as the piece will be trimmed top and bottom with 1x4 Red Oak. The Red Oak strips will be attached with wood screws piloted and SCREWED FROM BEHIND so no nail marks will be visible in the trim...notice the screws...It is also interesting to note that no seams aside from the edges of the plywood line up.

And thats as far as I am so far. I am planning on letting the first panel cure overnight, and attaching the next L panel to the front tomorrow. The 2 seams will only have about 1/2 to 1 inch visible after the trim and doors go on.
About the wobble...I noticed that if I turn the stand a bit...the wobble takes on a new direction, beaning I do not think the concrete floor is floated perfectly...maybe the cause of the wobble.
