Thread: A couple of attempts at brush stands

It's hard to find decent brush stands for when you want one either for looks or function so I thought I'd try my hand at a few prototypes since I work at an HVAC shop and we do custom metal work(keep in mind I'm a plumber so my skills at metal work are minimal) Wonder your guys opinions.

This one is stainless and industrial looking, I decided to weld a few pieces. It fits my 28mm black ship whaler and my chubby 1




This one is aluminum and I still have some sanding and polishing to do to give it that nice smooth shine. This custom fits my blackship 28mm custom brush

Very nice...I am just wondering why you mounted them to the ceiling? Lol

I was wondering how he stood on his head and took pics. I always need to use my hands to steady when I stand on my head. Mounted to the ceiling makes more sense, thanks for clearing that up :<0b......

Oh and besides the fun the stands look cool ! Might want to do a brush or swirl finish. Shiny is a pain to keep shiny.

Great looking stands, real good work there

I was thinking the same thing and how he keeps them from falling

I missed these first go-round. Nice work! a lot more difficult than it looks!

Thanks fellas, I don't own a lathe yet so I can't start on trying my hand at brush making yet so this was the next best thing. And suggestions of shapes or materials that would look good?

Great to have a way to hang one with the fat handles, hanging from the handle rather than the base of the brush.

I like how the first one looks, wouldn't change a thing about it. The other one is pretty nice as well, nice work.

Nice! Most of the ones you buy are chrome plated, which I don't care for.
