Use some scrap tube, steel plate and an old brake disc?

A Good excuse to do a bit of welding…..

I recently bought a Draper 8 inch bench grinder and a grinder stand from Amazon.

For me I just don't have the time to knock something up so it was very appealing to buy a stand! Also height adjustable etc and holds Allen keys / stones.

I wouldn't want to lean too hard into that grinding wheel, it would be on the floor.

What do you class as heavy duty? What wheel size?

Your best bet is to look out for a secondhand RJH Bison, they are built like a tank & seriously nice grinders.

Dont buy a Creusen, we had one in the school i worked & it was garbage.

Another option is to make a clampable grinder base.
I've a 6" & 8" that I mount on the bench vices and put them away after use. Also clamp up in a workmate outside for really dirty/dusty work.

Handy if you don't have the space for a permanent floor stand location, but I guess you do

I'm planning on doing similar for mine, as in a clampable mount. I've just built a shelf unit outside the workshop door, with one shelf specifically for the grinder. Don't want to be grinding in the workshop, but need something set up so that I can sharpen drill bits etc. Don't want to permanently affix to the shelf, so that I can swap grinders etc.

On enquiry, the patent office told me to grow up - rather mean spirited of them

If it works, It works, but you could do worse than the MM one.
