I had a machine shop make up stands for my Sequerras, later replaced by Spicas. They had a 3" heavy gauge steel tube, with 1/4" steel plate on top tapped for spikes with a two-inch hole in the center to fill the tube with sand/lead, and another bottom plate also tapped for spikes. This was a while ago, but I think they charged me under $100. I sprayed them with Krylon to blend in with the room somewhat.
They were heavy to begin with, and when the tubes were filled with sand and lead, were rock-solid.
Machine shops do a lot of the same jobs over and over, and I've found they welcome something different. Design your own, and find a machine shop in the neighborhood where the automotive body shops are. You can have the best, and get it at a fraction of the usual cost.
