You can probably make a quick and dirty base for it by cutting off the top edge (6" or so--enough to cut off where handles attach) of a 5 gallon bucket and cut a hole in the top that your carpet tube will slip through. this will help hide your wooden base you screw down to the floor or platforms. For a top you can probably adapt some sort of existing fixture. Good Luck.
