Good job so far. Yeah it doesn't take much for rigidity when you use sheets of material. Same way basically piece of painted cardboard keeps an entire entertainment center square. I braced mine to be totally rigid before adding any panels, to keep the load off them and prevent popping of welds. But if I had better welding equipment, I could have eliminated a lot of cross bracing and saved some weight.
