Hi folks, thought I'd ask the great community to help figure something out. I'm aware and have found plans to make a basic cutting stand with 4x4 trunk, and the four little pieces of 4x4 making up the legs to hold it up. I have seen though, some swords stands have a large metal bracket that the 4x4 trunk sets in. Then the metal bracket is usually attacked to a circular board or metal. I can't figure out what that metal bracket is or where to get one. I tried looking around in the general lumber construction isles but see anything that even comes close. Does anyone know what that is or where to get it? I'd like to make a stand that way, so the trunk part can be detached to make the whole thing smaller and easier to transport or store.
Thanks. Hopefully I was clear enough that you know what I'm talking about.

Hey Gman,I used a metal deck post bracket-the type that have a 2 foot spike on the bottem.I just pound it into the ground and drop my post into it-you might want to take a look at the deck building area of your local hardware store.I've thought of cutting this off at the spike and welding it to a metal plate then screwing the plate onto a base-but my wife doesnt care if the bracket stays put all year round so transportation isnt a problem.My buddy got ahold of a couple of camper supports,the ones that have a tripod on the bottem to level out the camper on the back of a truck and fixed a plank to the top-they adjust up and down which is handy.With a little ingenuity I'm sure these could be rigged for mats.Hope this helps-D
