    Height of the Rolling Mill stand depends on the Operator's height
    and the height of the Mill. Establish the height that you will be
    comfortable with. 

    I make the entire stand out of a steel 4" C Channel. ( standard
    construction material). You will have to find a welder & use the 
Drill
    Press to do the job. I buy the entire length of the 4" channel
    usually 12 feet as it works out to be cheaper. 

    If the base is wide and or the place for the holes is a problem I
    normally use a 1/2" aluminum adapter plate. 

    Standard design has 5 pieces. Upright- 2 Channels as upright cut to
    desired length. Top - 1 short piece saddled across the uprights
    Welded & drilled for the Mill or the adapter plate Base - 2 pieces 
cut
    to desired length and drilled. 

    Adapter plate optional depending on size of mill. 

    This can be done at you local steel vendor check you yellow pages.
    Normally they have the welding & drilling servies available. 

    It costs me under $100
