Rog,
Good on you for taking the plunge!
I'd suggest something more substantial for your go bar deck. The combined force of the bars often adds up to hundreds of pounds, so if the deck lets go, the bars go flying. Very disappointing, not to mention dangerous.
From the pic, it looks like you have t-nuts on the base. I'm hoping there are also backup nuts on the bottom side, otherwise the t-nuts will pull out easily.
The top piece looks questionable from what I can see. I'd go with 3/4" good grade plywood at a minimum.
Keep at it!
Pat
