Could the twist have been induced by overtightening the bolts holding the lathe to a less than ideal countertop?

For what ever reason my lathe bed has a vary slight twist to it. It needs a stronger bench to be attached to so the lathe can be shimmed to untwist the lathe bed so it is dead straight/level. I'm sure it probably left the factory straight but now it has
a twist probably due to stress in the casting.
Making a bench like this might be a good way to get a bench to what ever dimension you need and have it be strong enough and stable also.
If you don't need or want such a stable strong heavy duty bench does not mean no one else might.
