Thread: The cheapest brush stand

A guys got to do what a guys got to do. I am still driving a beater car that I paid 50 dollars for. So far I have added 60k miles to it. It has 240k on it now. Still plan on driving it till it quits. I plan on grabbing my umbrella and walking away from it when it belly's up. Yes the umbrella is worth more than the car is.
Now that is cheap my friend!!

Coat hanger? It would be more hard to bend that up into a brush stand.

Oh, it looks real cheap! It's the painted white kind, so at all my bends its cracked. I really need to make a pretty one.


And by pretty I mean out of some fancy wood.

Sorry for being off topic.

When I was stationed in Okinawa, I bought a Toyota Corona for $1.00. It had old t-shirts for seat covers. I certainly didn't add anything close to 60k miles, but I drove it for 2 years, and sold it for $100 when I left.

NOW THAT'S CHEAP!

I must admit the O.Ps brush holder is real hokey,but it works.

This cost me 3 bux from home depot. You can twist it into whatever shape you want.

Unless the brush doesn't have a flat bottom, the cheapest brush stand is said flat bottom. Capillary action (SP?) dries it so no matter which way it swings, it dries. More important is rinsing (and occasional washing) than the orientation of the bottom ..

Just my experience, but repeated elsewhere

I like that! I may sound silly but what is it made of?

To answer the OP’s question, I bought a stand/bowl combo for $10 on ebay. Shipping from China was hardly stellar but the stand works well and the little plastic bowl isn’t half bad for the price,.

I use a deodorant can lid.... The brush just sits in it on the handle.
