ohhh, 3D!
so I decided I would mock up the umbrella base in Google Sketch because I was tired of trying to explain what was in my head. It's the first thing I have actually created in Google Sketch so don't expect much. The goal here is to have it both extremely stable and portable. So that should be easy
