Wow that looks great. You use a spray gun for the paint?
Yeah, got a cheap HVLP gun from Harbor Freight, used Kilz latex reduced with floetrol. Then sprayed water based varnish as a top coat. I read mixed reviews on adding a top coat over latex , but I sprayed a couple test panels and it looked fine.

I built mine from scratch earlier this year. I pasted a few pictures below. I strongly recommend picking up a Kreg Jig, made the process much easier. Happy to answer any questions you may have!
Why you paint it black and hide the beautiful natural color of the wood. LOL Very nice job on the stand

Almost done, added the skin, some trim and a first coat of paint. Going to leave it door less for a while until I mount all the equipment.
Sweet stand and love the trims
