My DIY $30 Paint Stand

[Hagwood]

Playing around with some PVC before my next 2K application, and after several iterations I'm very happy with this. They key is the 45 degree support right below the vertical swivel to give it great stability. Also, use threaded bushings in the end of the horizontal pipe that are slightly smaller than your broom stick/dowel and ream them out with a dremel until it fits very snug. This way it will stay where you rotate it:

That.....is awesome! Any chance you have a blueprint of your nifty device, or measurements for the lengths of PVC needed?

Details? That sounds like instructions, and as a red blooded American male you darn well know I don’t read no instructions!!!

But just in case my uh.. friend is interested… you could share some of those details

Ha ha, I can write and/or draw something up tonight after work. I actually found another piece I like better for the vertical swivel, but don't feel like re-doing it. I'll share the details.
