got bored, made a atty stand

[HzG8rGrl]

I wish I could be as talented as you! I have a dremel and use it for home repairs. I need to figure this wood thing out-lol
You should make a couple spaces for your pv's in the middle or battery slots! Awesome job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I made something similar to OP's. I guess great minds think alike.

I'm a packrat when it comes to old broken electronics, and my moms threw away this broken clock, I was gonna make an EGO stand with the frame part of it and have it like an arc on its side with vertical holes. I think the material on the rear might make the perfect thing for this, its only about 3/16ths of an inch so maybe a little too thin, but maybe I could stack two sheets if it.. That stuff looks really nice, if it's a "bowl blank" that means they cut it into a bowl? Sounds cool. Yeah I like stuff like this.

This is exactly the size I'm looking to make. Will you tell me the diameter of this block and the thickness please?

They aren't actually cut into a bowl, more so just rough dimensions that you could turn into a bowl. That one was 6" wide by 2" tall all the way through.

It is approx. 2 1/4" high by 4 1/2" wide at the top (5" at the widest part). The best part is that it's at Home Depot (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Foster-Decorative-Millwork-5-in-Round-Pine-Bun-Foot-2731/202287720 ). Go to the moulding/millwork aisle and look in the shelves under the vertically stacked base board and crown material. You should see table legs, plinth blocks, etc. It comes with a lag screw inserted on the bottom, so just take pliers and un-screw to remove it. Enjoy.

Here is another shot of it. It looks a lot better than this crappy cell phone picture suggests.​

All of these look awesome! My husband had made me a few stands out of different materials but of course i have no pics right now. Looks like I have some more work for him to do now!

What are the bit sizes used on these beauties?
My collection is growing, and i love the idea of neatly displaying them to tossing them in a tackle box.

 

[aussiedog61]

Not sure who you are referring to, but for mine: 3/4" with a 5/16" down the center (to accommodate the 510 tip) for the ProTanks and 1" for the Sigelei in the center. I wanted to use a 7/8" for the center, but the Sigelei was just a bit too snug in there. I highly recommend Forstner bits since they will leave a flat bottom as opposed to other bits. Forstner bits do require a drill press however as Forstner bits do tend to travel with a hand drill.

Of course, other PV's, clearo's, tanks, etc. may require different sized bits. Just measure the width of the device and go up a hair on the bit size.

beautiful work all of you. I cant wait to post pics of my new stand.

OP : I love the idea of using 510 connectors to hold the atomizers instead of just drilling holes. I was designing a something similar just last night but couldnt decide between a store bought 510 connector or threading some brass tube so the atomizers would sit flush

 

[Xobeloot]

Exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks!

I REALLY appreciate you sharing this and responding. Clearly many others do too. I have a Home Depot 1/2 mile from my job that will be getting a visit tomorrow

You are most welcome. We are all here to help each other out.

I used this for the layout six sided star - Bing Images . I just printed it out and overlayed it on to my block to make my marks.

​

The only other tip I can give is to get those adhesive round felt pad cut outs for the center hole. It adds a little cushion for your PV. Take care.

 

[kh3ll]

I printed a similar pattern but just was an 8 pointed. It makes it so much easier since i'm not one for drawing straight lines. And mine still aren't exact since i used a hand drill vs a press.

HAHAHA...I just saw this as I was about to go to the Home Depot. I feel like you've done everything but make it for me LOL I'm in LA too, maybe we can catch a football game, beer and some vaping over this season. !!!!!GO EAGLES!!!!!! Unless you're a Cowboy fan

 

[coolbud01]

I posted this a few months back about a box I made. Now that I've got bigger mods, I need to make a different tray to hold them. My various tanks fit into the bottle holders just fine, upright. There's even enough lid clearance to hold my protanks.

OP: did you use basic 510 to 510 connectors in there? Wood glue before placement, or just tapped into a snug holelike a dowel?

All great stands and ideas. I'm going to have to get started on one of these soon. Mine will likely look like yours had a baby together!

Thanks for the inspiration.

 

[kh3ll]

Just used the standard 510 large silver diy connectors. I drilled it out to 5/16" and wobbled the hole a little. Put an old carto on very tight and smack them in. Carto helps keep the threads from distorting and to keep them striaght.

 

[Xobeloot]

Good stuff! Thanks.

 

[Train2]

Ask THIS GUY how he made his threaded!

Or buy one - it's pretty cool...
