    Lightbulb Brush stand made from a hanger!

    Sup y'all, oblonglego told me to post more pics of my provisional brush stand; so here they are, just in case anyone else would like to make one as well. It took me less than 10 min to make and did just the job before I could get an actual stand.

    It was made just by disassembling a wire hanger with some needle nose pliers; then start by bending the wire in one part of the base... to make the curve that holds the brush you can try with the neck of a bottle or some other semi round object, then just try to make it wide enough for your brush to fit; when you are finished with the other part of the base just cut the exceeding wire.
    You can easily make it taller or wider just by adjusting the angles. Oh and just to prevent accidents, try to round the ends of the wire with a file, you never know when small kids are around...

    Good luck mateys.

    Excellent ! I love Redneck thinking. I made a hone stand out of these larger rubber wheel type things. They work great and put the hone at the perfect height.

    Heh thanks mate, I like to make by myself whatever it is I need... uhm but I must say I am not used to the term "Redneck", I'm Mexican and even after 15 years of studying English I'm still missing a lot of slangs and modisms... :P but thanks anyway!

    It's a term we use loosely here in the U.S. to describe things made out of Necessity. I.E. Like laying a shopping cart on it's side to use a BBQ Grill...
    It's meant as a compliment....
