Awesome tips guys. I have ordered a cheap light stand and it will be here tomorrow. Fortunately, Don Szczur was here last night and had his and I was able to check it out. It is very similar to Verne's idea, except he uses an L bracket and a piece of plywood. He also had weight on his, which makes sense.

Thanks for all the help. Hopefully others that have had similar questions were able to get something out of this as well,
