Got tired of not having a place to put my brush up properly, so I decided to improvise. This is what you get when you pay child support and alimony surviving on E-4 pay haha! I do plan on getting something nicer when I get the chance, but this will work for now... Attachment 73198Attachment 73199
Heeheeee!
As an apprentice, some 25 years ago, I made a hanger to hold my hammer to my belt out of #6 copper wire. I haven't used it in a few years, but it's still in my tool bag.
If copper keeps going up I'm going to recycle it and add the proceeds to my retirement account.
:D
Behold necessity: the mother of invention! Well done, Specialist.
Looks great to me !
Good job man. When I get home tomorrow I will post pictures here of my hanger-made brush stand.

That's pretty good! I was thinking about making something similar for my brush and straight, but I decided to keep it put up in my sock drawer instead. My son is four, and he likes to copy everything I do. Don't need him to trying to shave while I'm not looking... I might even buy a small safe box.
ghetto, but very functional
Lol. You use what you got. I've been thinking about marketing a razor/brush stand, but haven't had time to develop it yet.
As an ex mechanic, love the use of holding things together with wire :)
My brushes hang wherever there is steel. I glued magnets to the bases
I guess if you wanted and you were handy you could make something pretty fancy out of wire. You could use Silver Wire jewelers use and other things like bronze too. You could do some fancy braiding with stuff like that.

This is a cool thread. I think Onimaru's magnet idea is brilliant.
The only downside to coat hangers is that their enamel coating is very very thin and gets cracked when you bend them up. So you'll have bare metal of one sort in contact with metal of another sort, and some water between them... that's the recipe for a battery, and also for corrosion.
I speak from experience as a former coat-hanger artisan.
Insulated #12 or #10 solid copper wire is a great medium, if you've got access to scraps of it. Leave the insulation on or you'll have the same corrosion risk as with the coat hanger.
Oz, my dear friend, I love this idea. Good thinking.Quote:
