Raymond,
You have posted a picture of a rod stand in the photo section:

[www.rodbuilding.org]

The pictures make it difficult to know the size and or materials used to construct the stand.
Can you expand on the materials used in the construction of the stand.

I think that I can guess as to what was used but I would like a good explanation.

Thanks for your help.
Roger

Donald Newenhouse posted the pics, not Raymond. The holder is an extending (telescopic) painter's pole, with a twist lock, set in a pyramid stand. To the end is attached a PVC "T" joint, cut open at the top and lined with a soft material.

Check out the "helping hand" post 9 below yours on the main page.

Ted,
Do you know the size and source of the Pyrimad stand?
Thanks,
Roger

p.s.
On a slightly different vein,
I use multiple "home depot" sourced stands to support my power wrapper, to easily roll the wrapper down the bench.
I have also used these to support my long rods if needed.
They sell for $19.95 at Home Depot, are foldable, extend from about 20-40 inches above the floor.
They have a roller top that is about 14 inche wide, with a flip up arm on each end of the roller if needed to keep things from sliding off the end of the roller.

I do like the use of the pyrimad stand though to support a single rod as listed above.

Essentially, this is the style stand that I wrote about above.

Very useful in the shop for a myriad of uses.

Take care
Roger

The Stand he has Pictured is a Screw type Camper / trailer jack
