Milk Stanchion Plans?

Does anyone have a good source/site for stanchions or have some of their own they'd like to share? Pics are a plus as I'm a bit of a visual learner.

Thanks for the assist.

What sort of cow are you planning to milk? I found a blog with what I thought were a good set of instructions for a Dexter sized stanchion, but if you're planning to milk a Holstein, that wouldn't be much help.

There's a really old thread here on HT that I started years ago called "here's my setup, what's yours?" That shows what I'm using. It's too hard for me to search for it using only my phone and too far away from my PC to post a link.

I messed around with idea of making a stanchion but ended up installing a tie stall in my garage.

A tie stall? Do you have any pics of your setup?
