Thank you, it went together surprisingly well. Didn't even have to touch the chainline at all.

If you look at my picture, I used some 1/2" metal pipe, a 3'x3' sheet of 3/4" plywood, and a Pony pipe clamp kit to make a stand. cut some V's into two blocks of wood, put some plastic-handle dip on the cuts and epoxied them to the clamp's jaws. Works pretty well for ~$30-$40.
