I'd like some ideas for some DIY brush stands...especially brush/razor combo stands. I am not a woodworker like some of you, although I can saw and sand...so simple things are fine...

I am leaning in the direction of bending some brass rod (bought for pins) and putting it in a wood base

I'm working on some ideas in polymer clay... not good ideas yet, but they're getting there.

Well Luke I have made my own brush and stand. It may be considered simple. It is here:

HAHA you know thats not simple theres a lot more then saw and sand in that, its more of a brush sculpture then a brush stand

I suggest curling the rod around a thick dowel and making like a spring and then bending that over at the top to hold the brush, and mount it on a nice slab of finished wood...does that make sense?

Okay, I was being funny.

I actually want to make some brush/stand combos that will be absolutely minimalist. I am thinking of maybe a single, thick wire (you can get some pretty heavy brass and aluminum at any hobby shop) sticking out of a post or board that would go into a hole drilled through the brush handle. You can even get away with the wire sticking out of the wall with this idea:

The only thing is the hole in the brush should be rinsed clear of soap before hanging.

I like that idea!

A piece of double stick tape would be real minimalist and invisible or if your willing to go that minimalist why not just stand the brush up...

Holy crap! First I'm too complex then I'm too simple. You are tough!

[tjiscooler]

Sometimes you gotta be..

They are all great ideas tho...

here is my humble attempt. however i have 1 more on the way, and possibly 2, so this may need to be modified again.

Now that Im impressed with. Very interesting.

Quick & dirty stand made of spare 1/16" brass rod and soft solder. If I ever make another one, I'll use heavier rod & silver solder. But I didn't have any lying around (and I also need a new propane bottle for my torch).

Why not a couple of roofing nails half ass pounded into a stud in the wall? Not only cheap, but very easy.

Well, there's something to be said for aesthetics. This stand was partly a trial run. I think it would be more attractive with some decorative curlicues and curved support members. Actually, next time I might fabricate something that mounts on the wall and has a row of those u-shaped holders for a whole row of brushes. I don't like too much clutter, and my sink is starting to accumulate gizmerators and doodads at an alarming rate.

[wopmanfixit]

I made this one to free up counter space.

[nun2sharp]

Now that looks smart! Nice job Wopman!

I made this one out of one of those department store hangers with the clips for pants.

My brush stand was thrown together out of necessity with no purchase required. Having given myself my first shave, I suddenly had the problem of what to do with the wet brush. I ran around the apartment until I saw one of my pipe cleaners (I smoke a semi churchwarden, so it's extra long) twisted it, put the brush in, and hung it over the shower rod. 3 months later, that's still what I'm using.
