Homemade Shave Brush Stands

[wrinkles2]

I thought it would be interesting to see what you guys have come up with in regards to do it yourself shave brush stands.
A picture or two, and maybe a description of what you made it out of would be great.
Here are mine:
I made it out of a regular coat hanger.
It wobbled a little, but I fixed that with electrical tape. (When I put it in my bathroom)
Edited Note:
I also made one using green craft wire and three thumb tacks. (Green wire wrapped around two tacks)
The third tack is placed below the two tacks, and is used to keep my vdh boar brush from being pressed against the wall.

My humble submission. Poplar wood base and copper tubing. Works for me.

Nicely done. Where do you get the tubing, and what size is it? Any tips for shaping it so smoothly?

Fill it with water. Then put it in the freezer so that when you bend it, it wont collapse on itself. I am assuming that he just wrapped it around a metal pole roughly the size he wanted.

It's 1/8 copper tubing, found it at a hobby shop. I bent this by hand, wrapped it around a tube. They have some bending tools also that help you, which I now have and will use for my next brush stand.

Tubing is a little tough because it kinks, next time I'm gonna try solid 1/8 brass.

If you plug or tape the ends of the tube shut after filling with fine sand, there is much less chance of kinking or collapsing the tubing.
