I'm in the same boat. I went to all of the LFS in Vancouver/Burnaby last month, and none supply steel stands anymore. I just kept being to that a welder could make a custom stand for me, but they did not have a recommended one.

Well depending on the size of stands I could probable design a good solid stand that bolts together.
