    Just a thought

    Just a thought.
    Your supports have a 16” on center from hole to hole.
    That is where I think you supports should be located. The backside (wall) is far more rigid than the front due to the welds in the horizontal platform plates. You need to stiffen the front (face side).
    Because of that I would be curious to see what would happen if you reverse the support brackets, arch up.
    It sure is a beautiful piece of work.

        That's gotta be the most beautiful drum/platform that I've ever seen!!! Great Job! 👍🏼

        I was looking at your supports, and as "dad" said earlier maybe switch the curves the other direction?

        Maybe make a support in the manner of the NMC supports? You'll notice that they have a curved part that would be similar to reversing what your design has. Also, the arms have a slight downward angle on the top part. With your skills and knowledge it would be interesting to see what you come up with if you took inspiration from the NMC arms. (Should you decide to work on something, I can provide you with newer photos and measurements.)

          Thanks for the suggestions. I came up with a neat idea of my own. Something fitting for the Arc. Stay tuned!

                Beautiful

                COOL. When are you going to try it?
                You’ve got me excited.

                  My metal man just finished making them for me yesterday and is shipping them tomorrow. I'll let you know when I get them up on the wall.

                      Oh man I can't help but think how that would look with a piece of 10 gauge formed to the side view profile welded in place? She has some nice curves!

                        Form follows function. But if you can't do something with some style, then why bother.

                          I do like how they arc.
