Stan,

The factory stand is pretty good. You'd be alright if you copied it.

Did you get the four hold down clamps that secure the bender to the
factory stand? If not, you should improvise something similar. The
clamps allow the bender to be quickly rotated on the stand so the
bending arm can swing in the needed arc without hitting adjacent
objects (most of us don't have the shop space for the bending arm to
swing a full 360 degrees).

I set threaded inserts into the shop floor to secure the stand.
Maybe once a year I have to unbolt the stand from the floor and
scoot it out of the way to make room for a large project.
