My stand is nothing more than a drawer with heavy duty slides. The drawer pulls on a digital "fish scale" that I got at Wall Mart. It was only 20 some bucks if I remember correctly. The scale goes up to 50 lbs and appears to be pretty accurate based on some dead weight measurements. I screw the platform down to some saw horses.
Here's a 25cc Husqvarna brush saw conversion I just finished running on the stand.
