a couple Cheap Tricks

Recommended Posts

These reflect my cheapness in getting something I think I need.

First, a stand for pliers and such that copies the ones available I've seen around. Just a few pieces of plywood.

Then I modified a paintbrush stand I have that doesn't work well. The Brushes always missed the small hole in the bottom and slipped out. So I added a 1'4" plywood piece midway down supported by plywood pieces at the sides. It works ok but would have been even better a bit lower. The piece I added is painted black in the photo.

nice ideas/improvements on existing fixtures.

that plier stand is a lot like the idea I'm working on for my mother's huge collection of jewelry making pliers, in my version I will have a metal bar across the top that the pliers will sit on so the wood doesn't get mangled by the pliers.

That's interesting .. they are Channellock for sure. I got them for the flat face to bend metal sheet and PE pieces. Being Channellock, they are even better than I thought and I know they will last forever! :)
