For this I used a 2 x 6, eight foot long. A 2 5/8" hole saw made the notches for the axle to sit in. Measure one foot from the end of the board and use the hole saw to drill hole. Cut this board at the one foot mark and you have your uprights. Then cut a board 32 1/2" long, this will be the base. Use a couple lag bolts on both ends to secure it. I had some 90° framing pieces so I bolted them on. Not necessary but it adds strength. Two lag screws secure it to the table. To hold the yoke end up I just used a hammer to prop it up. This should last years.

DIY Differential work stand
This is just a little DIY differential work stand I came up with. Nothing spectacular but does the job and is under $10.
