You didn't say whether you wanted one for small or large engines but look at the following thread:

I, along with some other folks, recently posted descriptions and photos of test stands we use..

Curley, are you going to stay with the hobby? If so you will definitely want to invest in a good engine test stand. Remember that lots of accidents have been caused by inferior, homemade test stands. So start out with an aluminum stand from Tatone or others and mount it solidly to something heavy and safe. Some folks have permanantly mounted a test stand to a cement block.

Take Ernie's advice

I had a McCoy 19 fly out of a vice and chew on my left knee, Not a good feeling. Still have faint scars after 30+ years.
