have not made one myself. have seen models that are secured to a workbench or the wall in a garage or basement and made with metal piping.
I question if PVC piping would work well due to it being flexible and could you securely connect a clamp to it. and then what happenes when you are wrenching on your rig.
looked at MEC and their cheapest model is $149. EBay has some stands for $50 and up.
would think there are lots of plans out there on the net or pinterest on building one
