Thought I'd share what I use for helm stands. The material costs
about $10 ~ $15 dollars and about 5 minutes to make.
Material consists of a wood plaque from Michaels or Walmart,
Table legs and some type of topper from Home Depot. Drill a
hole into the plaque a little smaller than the table leg bolt and
into the top of the table leg.
You can use white glue if you wish but I never needed to.
* You of course can stain or paint to your own tastes. *
Here is the results:
I use the taller one for my new great helm to allow the mantle and torse
to hang freely.
