Hand grinder/utility stand

ok...so I went through some old posts...tried to...couldn't find NOTHING
Anyone got pics of their hand grinder/utility stands? I think the few that I saw was random, on different threads that had nothing to do with stands...
thanks again,
bert

OK...you mean for a grinder such as a 4 1/2" disc grinder.
And here I was gonna break down and take a pic of my old bench grinder stand so you all could laugh at it!
I don't have a hand grinder stand but it sounds like a cool idea maybe.

I stacked up 5 car rims and tacked them together, put on a little top for my drill press. Made another one for my 12" disc sander. Rims are easy to find and are pretty stable. The bottom one can be filled with cement if needed...Bob

yes FK, I meant a stand for 4-1/2" and 7" disk grinders. Sorry for the confusion. I think I saw one that had like a tripod legs welded to the vertical trunk and a horizontal bar/angle on the top. This way you can just "hook" your grinders on it. I forgot what else they had "added" to that....
thanks Bob and FK,

I use the bench vise for mine, I have several of the 4 1/2 grinders with various wheels on each them. I would like to see some of these stand configs......

Here's one I threw together from scrap, much of it was not even cut to length, just used as found in the heap. It has been 10 times more useful than I expected, if I ever build another I will know it is worth my while to put a little more thought and time into it......

If you don't have a patent on your idea, I may borrow the concept, and add a 4-plex 120V outlet at the bottom with a 25' 10-2 cable. Naturally, I wouldn't copy yours in every detail (your idea, your invention), but the novel design (including beverage pad) is unique. Very resourceful.

Most of the pipe guys who have to grab a grinder a go, merely cut out a plate kinda like a reversed "m" Grinder wheel slides in holding the grinder in place and pops out for easy use.
