Technics SP-10 Tonearm Pod instead of Plinth/Base


Trawling through the Audiogon forums for information on a suitable Plinth for a Technics SP-10, I came across a post by Raul.
Instead of putting the SP-10 in a plinth, he just put the TT on three feet and then had constructed a separate base that only housed the tonearm. (I haven't seen a pic of this BTW)
Following on from Raul's 'Thinking outside the square' approach, I thought I might be able to buy, or have made, a stand-alone 'pod' or rectangular tonearm plinth that could sit along side the SP-10. Has anyone seen something like this that I could buy 'off-the-shelf'?
The advantage of this is that the tonearm is decoupled from the TT and therefore distanced from any vibrations generated by the TT.
A down side is getting the right geometry for the tonearm in relation to the distance from the spindle; and then keeping the pod in the right spot.
If this is all too hard, I might still go with a plinth. I notice an E-Bay seller in Taiwan is offering a Teak plinth cut for the SP-10. Anyone bought one of those?
All comments welcomed!

The plinths from Acoustand look nice, would be great if someone had a way to test so we know performance.

The Acoustand website does not mention price, what do they sell for and are they shipped from UK?
Any idea about internal construction? Is it available with Panzerholz or other heavy non resonant materials?

I know shipping becomes an issue with Panzerholz and Slate but would be a nice option if they offered. They are attractive and I appreciate their designs
