Hey guys!
I traded a good customer of mine who owns a cool little music store where I live, some paint work on a set of old drums...(Pics to come soon!) for a guitar stand...
he wondered why would I want a guitar, since I don't play, or own an axe...I told him I would put it to good use...
This baby has adjustable foam wrapped "fingers" on the top end to hold things with...and adjustable pads on the bottom that can move up and down the stand for various uses...
I used a vinyl cardboard core (thick cardboard tube...) and wired it to the 'fingers' for stability, then wedged the tank in the picture onto it..so it held tight...
Now I can either leave it straight or tilt the back or front end down to get at all the angles....works PERFECT, and its a sturdy one...
If you can get your hands on one, you can modify it easily to work with most projects!
Check it out!

Great idea. Maybe you can take the concept and create a stand to be ready for a painter right out of the box rather than having to modify a guitar stand. Patent the sucker and make a fortune selling them to other painters.
