Where to get/or make an amp kickstand?

Skylark

I have a little practise amp(tiny, uses a 6" speaker) that I want to tilt upwards, I'm looking for something like this on Laney lionheart, a little flip out bracket:

Can they be bought or ideas on making one DIY, would prefer if the kickstand is attached to the amp and fold flat onto the bottom when not needed. I'm thinking maybe a pull ring/hatch handles may work, like this:

2x small hinges attached to a piece of aluminum? Or something else that is thin. Could easily shape the aluminum into an "H" shape so one side fits on the hinges and the other side sits on the floor. When done, fold it away.

^ That's not a bad idea

Another idea is to attach two strips of wood/metal on either side of the amp that swivel backwards for the amp to rest on. They can be joined with a strip across the back of the amp to keep them at the same angle.

I found a collapsible tri-pod that you place your amp on at Marshal. It has a few settings for the rear leg that alter the angle. I also got a boom attachment that holds a mic in place in front of the speaker.

+1. That's the Fender tilt-back amp legs. Like this:

Real simple way to do it - a strip of steel and a stop washer on either side of the amp. Folds away discretely when not in use. You should be able to get a few different sizes from Fender.

The nice things about amp stands are they raise smaller amps up closer to you and tilt them too. You get a variety of amp stands from most stand manufacturers. I use an x-brace one (similar to a keyboard stand) for my rack to raise it and tilt it towards me:

Y'know, I tried that with LP Claws (used for clamping mics to drums) years back and found I was getting all kinds of resonances messing with the mic's frequency response. So I still prefer a good old fashioned mic floor stand.

Is there anything of the Laney sort of stand that you can order from Stew Mac or somewhere similar?
Really nice that the Laney one folds away neatly out of sight when not needed.
