I bought a PM1236T and built a stand out of plywood that is working even better than I thought it would. The stand by David Best would be ideal, and I may do that some day, but if you have any woodworking skills, you can make a spanning beam stand out of laminated plywood that will work well for that size lathe. You can search my user name to find my thread on getting my lathe in the basement to see the stand I built.
