Rakesh,
Thanks for sharing the photos of your stands. Actually that helps me a great deal in understanding his joint. I am a bit of a woodworker and am a big fan of doweled joints. I do not feel you will have to worry about creaking over the years. Modern glues and dowel joints are quite durable. Think of chairs made of wood that have constant stress on them as people lean back or tip the chairs while in them. The good ones don't get wobbly over the years.
Aesthetics is a personal thing, but I actually quite like the look of your stands. I wasn't sure I would until I saw the big horn pictured on it. As yes I like the side view from that photo.
One of the things I like about your stand is that it is made of wood. I personally can work with wood and even do joints like those pictured (looks like he used the domino system from Festool) but I no nothing of working with steel.
I also had in mind to make something more temporary while I piece together, measure, experiment with building the whole system and then commit final design when I have a bit better idea of the complete system.
