    Default new DIY brush stand

    so I decided to make a brush stand...
    I used a piece of aluminium profile and some sleeving to protect the brush handle...

    I also sandblasted the SRP logo on it to give it that little extra coolness

    Any plans for instructions on these so we can all have them? lol How did you do the sandblasting? This gives me ideas for brush holders...

    Personally I see no problem witth just one person making one for himself or maybe one or two others, but if you want to start making a lot it might be a good idea to ask the SRP owner(s)

    Looks nice btw, much better than those smaller plastic ones you can buy

    I'm not planning to make these for other people. I added the logo for a touch of class and out of appreciation for the forum.

    It actually was a piece of rectangular aluminium tubing were I took of the front, then using a big drill (just above the brush handle diameter) I drilled a hole in the upper part and made incisions towards the end to get the bit of metal out. After using the file on the edges, I placed the cut-open sleeving of an elctric wire around the edges.

    For the sandblasting I make a negative cutout of the logo in vinyl (sticker), then I use the sandblast gun on it, and afterwards remove the sticker.
