John,
I don't want to break any rules by advertising, but I'm a woodworker by trade & just opened up my own shop this year. I would be more than happy to make something for you. Posting my email is probably against the rules, but if you send me a PM I'd be more than happy to chat about it. Even if you decide on someone else or a DIY project, no worries.

What I would want would be very boring to build. A flat board of kingwood, I have that already left over from another project. I will drill three holes from Provaries, three holes for pants pocket carry devices, and three holes for shirt carry devices. I would rather keep all the other supplies in a drawer. Once I reduce it all to where it will fit. Of course my juice bottles will never fit in the drawer.
The problem is I can't find much that I like 100% except for the Provari stuff.
I wouldn't even be able to start until I figure out what other devices I want to stick with.

That's cool, I just wanted to offer my services if they could be useful. I just had the idea of a 'tool box' in mind - a smallish lidded box that you could fit the Provari's in the top section & a drawer or 2 for the juices/accessories. Nothing too fancy, but something that would look nice & out last the Provari's themselves. But like I said, no worries either way. I'm a one-man army, the shop's not completely dead, but I definitely have time to take on some other projects.
If the smaller thinner devices were as well thought out as the Provari life would be soooo much simpler. I have had the Provari (plural) for quite awhile now and love them. The tiny stuff is much more or a problem.

If you've got a shape/size in mind - certain mods to hold, etc, Rick at Absolute Wood will do something custom REALLY NICE.
My ProVari (when I get one) will look real nice in this, which he made for me. I needed something super-stable, there's even a weight embedded...
Plus 10 for Rick.
Meet Rick of Absolute Wood
I was lucky and only did twists and a zmax before I found my provari...I keep the twists on hand for others and use my z max outside sometimes...no problems with them and they work, but I like my provari and my bella tanks the most! I have a ton of tanks, toppers, juice and ego stuff that I need to purge!
That's crazy! I'm gonna have to pinch that pic though... i know someone who would benefit
Unfortunately I don't think they offer it anymore. Its been a long time since the Base Crate was pictured on their web site, their other wood products are long gone as well (Elliot, Nichols, Trinity, etc), and all they list now is their new HDPE plastic modular Revizor line. Interesting idea, but plastic over wood doesn't have much appeal to me.
It's been on the list for a while to make my own. I have many species of exhibition grade woods from around the world on hand left over from a hobby that would make simply awesome whatevers. One of these days.....
I gave away all of my twists long ago. I have very specific wants and they seem to be hard to meet.
DUPLOs work! It was a good excuse to visit the LEGO store. hehe.
You can't fit a drip tip in there but any 510 connector fits.

I love Legos!! And the penguin and polar bear are cute too.

Based on the fantastic information shared in this thread, I got in touch with Mark @ Mark's Pens. I looked at the selection of blocks he had on his website, emailed with him a few times asking questions and getting his input, etc. Finally settled on a block of tamarind wood, settled on the number and type of openings and....voila! He emailed me this pic of my new stand. Entire process start to finish was about 4 days, and I really found his prices very reasonable for custom work. Here's the pic he sent me, the stand is on its way so I will post another pic once it is settled in and put to its intended use.

That is georgeous!! I love his work...look forward to more pics.
I am thrilled with how it came out, not to mention the incredible turn around time! Mark was amazing to work with, and I can't recommend him enough.
(Stormy, you looked at my stand and thought "Openings for seven drip tips? Pfft. Amateur." Didn't ya?
)

Wow. NICE! 4 days is fast! Can I ask how much?
I like the 510 connector inserts. That what that is, right? I want mine like that. Rick has holes for tanks. I told him I want them displayed not hidden in the hole.
I contacted Rick 11/13. First draft drawings came back to me yesterday. I sent him back my changes. He is estimating finishing my stand by the end of the year.
$80 plus shipping. Amazing.
And I sure hope those are 510!
I told him it was for my ProVari tanks, so....- Status
