Well this morning I woke up and had an idea to make a marker stand for my gun. So I headed over to the local Lowe's and picked up 10' of 1" PVC pipe, some 90 degree elbows, some tees, foam, and zipties. It was sorta fun building it, so here are some pics of my gun and the stand.


Put some foam in for the barrel to rest on.



Sorry for bad pic quality, our good camera broke so...

Very awkward looking. You should have made it so the gun and barrel is parallel to the ground.

Nice looking stand. Better looking gun.

The reason for the angle, is for when filling your hopper with paint, you get paint all the way to the front of the hopper. I personally like the angle, but all i would have to do is cut a longer piece of PVC I have laying around to make it parallel.

Yes I am bringing it to the field tomorrow actually. It is quite convient, just set it down in the bed of my truck, and I dont have to worry the space it takes up lying down on its side.

What stops it from falling over?

The part that holds the tank is pretty snug on the tank so the gun doesnt wobble, also the foam on the inside where the barrel goes fits snuggly around the barrel. The wide base on stand also keeps it from falling over.

Cool.


I think it's kind of dumb and useless with that angle, but if you like it.
Que pasa?
