Like Bob I find the miter saw takes up too much room to have a fixed position so I just use a stand. They are quite cheap and I would likely have spent more to build one. Few times I do use it I generally take it outside.
Sydney Tools
Not that brand but just about the same.

I also looked at many stands but one thing I wanted to avoid was having to lift the saw on and off the stand. At the time I bought there was even a deal going on the Bosch Gravity Riser stand with 2.5m outriggers where the saw stays on the stand, but it would not fit in the space under my TS. The same applies to the spring loaded Makita spring loaded stand which is about half the price of the Bosch stand. All of the stands were also significantly lighter than a hydraulic trolley.
Anyway good idea to look at available stands, you might find one that suits. Weight of saw and lifting on/off will be much less of an issue with lighter saw. However I agree with John, it's going to be difficult to build better ones for the same $$ - unless you already have say a good set of wheels.
