Tell you when I get them.

If you made 2 equalateral triangles and joined them @ the bottom, had a notch in the top for any kind of bar to sit in?

It would look like the expensive one. You could make it any size depending on what cable you use. You could hinge the triangles to the base so it folded flat to store.

Hell - youcould even paint it yellow.....

In response to KME I've kocked one up this afternoon.

I used some crappy far eastern 1/2" ply that's been stored outside.

The tools used were a 12V drill driver and a 18V cordless cirular saw. I did turn the bar on my lathe but an old brush handle would have worked aswell.

It took me about 40 minutes. The width is 16" and used purly as that was the width of my offcut! Could be made any size. I havn't got any yellow paint, so green had to do.

The pics are self explanatory but I can explain anything further if anyone wants

Nice one Apache

But I think I'll stick with the one I had knocked up - oooer

D.

ps - Is it rigid enough (ie sidewards movement)?

Because the sides are held @ right angles to the base and the bar at the top is notched it is suprisingly rigid. Especially with the weight of some cable on there.

I'm not suggesting for a second that this is any better than anything else, only that for a miniscule cost and minimal time you can make something that might cost you

Excellent, m8.

Have a gold star. Erm....will a Scoob do???

As for the patent......... leave it with me, until I`ve FIELD tested it.

Apache, I applaud you.

10 out of 10 for ingenuity.

9 out of 10 for execution. (could have made the sides look nicer. )
