TWIX Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Yes, i made it i bought some PVC pipes and some needed accessories and started building DJ his first playstand. It does look good, and i am working on finishing it. I hope i can by tomorrow, i will then post some photos. I thought it's easy but it's a lot of work. Every time i feel tired i look at DJ and i say he deserve it. Then i start again. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Oh can't wait to see your finished playstand!!!!! On another note, I love your signature especially the first picture. So very sweet and uninhabited. Priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I made one of those and Josey won't step foot on it, she is still scared of it, if I didn't live half a world away you could have had that one as it is doing her no good, can't wait to see what you come up with.

TWIX Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) Judy, i introduced the stand to DJ and he jumped on the stand immediately, he is now exploring lol didn't get scared at all Edited June 23, 2012 by TWIX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Well done! That goes for you and DJ as well. You just kept going and going until the moment DJ jumped in and gave it the seal of approval. I love how you go the extra step to make your flock and family happy. Thanks for all you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 It looks great, you did a good job on it and so glad DJ jumped right on it, of course he is a young grey so they take to new things quicker than older birds do, you could make these and sell them.

JeffNOK Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Great Job! I'm not very handy, so to make a playstand would be quite and endeavor for me. You have inspired me to try to make one though. I'm glad DJ likes it. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murfchck Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Great job! Looks really good and Dj will love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnMM Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 That looks great! And it got immediate approval! I made two a month ago and Buddy is just barely getting on one of them. But he's a very cautious grey, it takes him a while to get used to new things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amit Gomes Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Dude how did u get the pipes through the wood base & do you have like a slightly bigger plastic base that is screwed to the end of the pipes at the bottom to keep the stand level....I'm not a regular handyman, have hardly assembled or made any stuff on my own so i'll need sum guidance for making mine....

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Awesome playstand! I know, Sophie would LOVE IT! She can be very fussy. You should be proud! Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Larsen Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 How did you attach the bowls? I'm wanting to build a play stand for Amy but can't figure out how to attach bowls. I'd like to be able to take the bowls out to clean them. Thank you so much. It looks amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWIX Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Hi Christina, I have not used any kind of glue. I made holes through the PVS pipe and bought two screws with nuts to lock them secured. The bowls i used are sort of like this: You have to remove the screw that came with the bowl and replace it with the new longer screw. Very easy. Just make sure that the hole you made in the PVC is the same size of the new screw. I think i should take photos and that may help even better.
