You know, I have a stand like that just crying for some useful function.
I think I'll do that with a squirrel-cage blower I have.

Mine won't be quite so elegant, but Thanks for the idea.

Just reminds me of the fact that every time I throw something out, I need it
or think of a use for it within 72 hours. Glad you're a hoarder, too.

It always happens to me too, I throw something out and I usually need
it within a week.

Every time I donate something, I use
the space it occupied almost instantly.

I'm trying hard to reduce the hoard from decades of abandoned hobbies.
I've posted scores of CL ads for everything from a typewriter to a slot
car set. Still a whole bunch to go.

Of course, while posting CL ads, I see lots of other ads that are
intriguing. I stopped at one on the way home yesterday "Machine Tools
For Sale". Well, not much in tooling, but there was this nifty antigue
wooden chest oozing with character that housed a lot of the tools. It
barely fit in the passenger seat of my Z3.
When I took it in the house, the wife says "What are you going to do
with THAT?"
"I dunno yet, I thought it was cool"
"Well, clean it up and a fresh coat of paint..."
"No way in hell paint gets anywhere near this!"

The cats liked it though.
