    Default The cheapest brush stand

    Does it get any cheaper than a scrap piece of copper wire found in an old lamp my father gave me for my basement, stuck into a hole the previous owners of the house drilled into the bathroom cabinet?

    I have some equally cheap razor stands, but mine are painted blue - with free spraypaint. I am well over my data limit, and I don't have a picture handy or I would post one, maybe in a week or so...

    I have 2, made of wire coat hanger that I've bent into a stand. It works well, but looks like garbage. They were suppose to be temporary until I made some half decent ones. I've had the one for over a year now.

    Whatever works right!

    I think I win. I get good wire from my son's shop when he isn't looking.

    and they look cheaper too. copper is classic, brass/bronze (brazing rod) also classic non-ferrous.

    You're talking to a metal moron, I think it was brass/bronze brazing rods.
