To anchor it, it might be enough to put a length of plywood on hinges so it folds flat to the floor. Standing on that will make it pretty solid. I'm thinking maybe a couple of feet wide so your are solidly on it no matter how you stand. Maybe some long bevels on the edges to reduce the tripping hazard.
That's a really good idea, thanks!
Very nice! What's next on the shop build list?
Looks solid. I like the idea of using the 2x4s on edge for the work surface.
How much lateral force would it take to have it fall over? It seems top heavy with a small base, and I wouldn't want kids or others to get smushed while playing while I am away.
