Look what I made! - Home made device stand

[cramptholomew]

Wasn't really sure where to post this, so I chose here.
I was inspired by a few things that I saw people made here on ECF. A trip to Lowes, a forstner set, some oak, and an hour and a half later - here's what came out. I only have a small collection of devices (some spinners, and a twist. A few EVODs, a Protank Mini, and some CE5 type clearos). BUT, I did leave room for a larger device, in case I get one. I still need to seal it.



All my liquids are in an old humidor (along with my Kanthal, wick and tools), but I wanted something to set on the counter, for stuff that I'm always grabbing for.

I'm really glad I found this place. No more stinkies, a new hobby, and a great new community.

Thanks for the inspiration ECF peeps!

Very nice job!

Looks very nice. I've thought about making a stand out of copper or stainless steel. Might make a couple prototypes out of plain galvanized metal first.

Out of billet, or sheet metal?

Great job... I need to get off my .... and make one...

+1 Nice!
Made a small one for my mods. Need a bigger one but my Youngest adult son has taken over my garage. Can't get in and can't find a darn thing.

I do a little bit of welding from time to time. i need to come up with something cool that wont mess up the counter tops

 

[FloydianSlip]

Nice job on that!

Looks more professional than mine. But mine was made from a post that used to hold the roof up over the porch. I wanted it to look rough so I didn't reprint or sand it down.
The pieces of wood are held together with 1/4" wooden dowel because I don't have a drill bit that will reach the 3" necessary to fasten that way.

Very nice and inspiring....lets see....where did I leave that piece of cypress?

This is the one I built when I first started vaping. This was built 75% one handed due to a Blown Out RIght Shoulder (my dominant hand). I do plan on building a much bigger one this week. {MODERATED} These will be cabinets however. No kit or instructions. all built by hand from designs in my head. One will be like a dance hall with a 4 level stage, mirror back ground, lights, the works... Wooohooo.

Will it have a disco ball too?

Will it have a disco ball too?

Was actually thinking of the disco ball idea but don't know. I wont be putting in various colored stage lights unless I can find a very small set of Xmas lights. I am a retired professional musician (drummer) so yeah I will come up with one helluva a showcase. And for it to be built 75% one handed. OH YEAH It will be very special.. The one Im gonna keep isn't going to have the mirror... I don't need anything that extravagant here. One with mirrors and lights. the other one (mine) with no mirrors but will have lights...

I was thinking of using a piece of salt treated 4x4 post, but decided against it. I figured that if I had to go to Lowes for the forstner bits, then I might as well get some halfway decent wood. Besides, pressure treated stuff cracks, and I wouldn't want to sand it and get all the sawdust in my lungs. I just quit cigarettes, I don't need to breathe anymore crap!

Sheet metal. I'm a sheet metal worker by trade. I have access to the material and the equipment to do it.

the post we replaced it with. That one washer ting rotten at the base because it was not installed properly. But I don't throw things away. I might use them for something...

a filter mask takes care of that, and the only sanding I did was to knock off the sharp corners.... It's been curing for about a year now and did not crack, so I figure it should be ok.

I've come to the conclusion that I need this. Or something like it at least. Always finding a place to lay my unit down and clearos/juice all over the place!

 

[Ken_A]

That is why I made mine. I would reach for one thing on the end table and knock something else off to the floor.
