Default Mounting a metal shear

I have a heinrich shear that has a little metal tongue hinged on the
base that flips down to be clamped in a vise - you could bolt the
sheat to a t-section of hotrolled or aluminum and then just clamp the
T in the vise when you want to use it. Of course that means you wil
have to have your vise bolted to the bench...

I just purchased the Enco 8 inch plate shear. I need to mount it onto
something otherwise when you pull on the handle the shear tilts
forward and you loose the leverage to cut things. I like to keep the
shear portable...Has anyone found a way to do this. The shear has
four mounting holes. I started to build a small stand for it....but
since I got interupted before welding the stand up, I thought I might
ask here before I go any further.

Thanks
