Pvc stand

GRRR! GF actually had discussions about some pretty sweet stands members have made. The forum search engine just can't find anything since vBulletin or whatever it's called. But this is a pretty detailed link:

Don't know how elaborate you were thinking or if you wanted something that large, more portable or hanging. But really the only "rules" are to use stainless or nickel plated (not galvanized) chain or fittings & any sisal should specifically say "bird safe" because it has no oils & pesticides. Otherwise, CPVC pipe might be a better alternative to PVC which is starting to get some bad press as a potential cancer risk.

 

Hopefully, that link will give you some ideas to start, anyway. Then you can incorporate whatever you like into yours. The nice thing is that nothing gets glued because it's not necessary (or good for the fids btw). If you eventually decide to re-invent your first creation, you can just cannibalize it for your next one. :)

^^^ Me too. Thought I'd just take a minute & post the link for it. ...not! :(

 

I do like a number of things about the stand in the link I ref'd. It's also a design that can be customized pretty easily. But it's just that our own members have shared some really, really nice projects over the years & it's a shame not to be able to show them off to new members.

 

Search is a little more better if you know a member's name to Google, though. :confused: ...so of course I'm pretty much drawing a blank. lol But I remember Doug was always making Ellie new stands. These are a couple of his plastic projects.

There are some really greyt wood stands "out there", too. This is one of my fav's that Acappella made for Dorian.
