anyone ever build a cab/amp stand???

So I started the month thinking I would want a 2x12 cab
Currently running a randall Diavlo 20 watt head
The head sounds great
and my cabs sound great
I have a ver old Fender 1x12 closed back with a seymour duncan speaker in it (yes that is a thing that exists)
and a randall diavlo 1x10
the real reason I would wand a better cab is some convenience and the ability to stand it vertically

but I like the sound out of my 1x12 1x10 setup
thought about getting a custom cab built but these sound great and I have some portability when I want it

so I want to build a stand or maybe a road case where the 1x12 is on bottom the head is in the middle and the 1x10 is on top and preferrably sits at a slight angle.

Does such a thing exist?

how would you manage the cooling of the amp head?
How would you isolate the vibrations?

Don't want it to look like garbage, and would want it to be pretty bulletproof

anyone have any suggestions?

Are the two cabs and head the same depth and width? Cause that would make things simpler, but I doubt that's the case.

Riffing on your idea, I'd build a vertical cabinet that will fit them as you suggest, but straight up,for ease of diy construction. For an angle I'd go for some sort of kickstand on the back. You could also build in a vent and or fan the back for cooling.

A vent is a good idea
nothing is the same size

the 1x10 is so little compared to the amp,

If I just take the head and 1x10 somewhere to play the head usually ends up on the floor and the 1x10 is next to it, trying to avoid that situation
