7 pipe stand?

[tarheel1]

So my goal is a 7 day set of group 5 bent bulldogs. I will need a stand for them and wondering if anyone knows someone that does custom stands for reasonable prices.

Doesn't get any better than Neal Yarm.
Assuming you want a traditional stand, how about this one for $140: http://nealyarmpipestands.com/pipestands/th-7-mahoganymaple-burl/?slide=1
he also has a bunch of others, including the usual magnetic stands.

I was looking at his stands and didn't think I could afford them. It was the magnet stands.

I use old glass jars. Much cheaper, in fact free.

 

[tarheel1]

Why would I use a glad jar for a custom 7 day set of English bent bulldogs? The point of the stand is to show of quite expensive set that has taken me years to aquire.

 

[aggravatedfarmer]

You just literally answered your question. Expensive set needs expensive stand.

 

[tarheel1]

That was not my question. My question was if anyone knew someone that I could commission a stand at a reasonable price. I can not afford 500-1000+ on a stand. So I am looking for something reasonable. 100-400 is fine.

Got some plywood in the garage I can fix you up with. $30 and I'll make you up a stand. I'll even throw in the 8th day for free. Point I'm trying to make is, go to a reputable lumber store. Show them a picture of what you'd like. Purchase the wood and do it for yourself. I think you will come away enjoying it more and your wallet will thank you. Nothing like being a craftsman and really showing off your pride and joys!

Except have no garage or tools and currently live in the middle of nowhere and no way to go anywhere as my soon to be x wife has my car back in Texas and I am in North Carolina. I would not use plywood for that matter.

Thanks jkrug.

I actually have a very nice 7 pipe stand that might suit you well. I just put it on eBay for $30. Willing to do that here but with free shipping if you are interested. Note the stem holes are large for easy placement and should fit bent pipes well. Don't have a pic handy but you can find the listing, item# 141812452064

Thanks for the offer but not sure there is enough room between where the pipes sit. The bulldogs are quite wide.

The Yarm above is 140, and looks pretty sweet in my opinion.

 

[tarheel1]

It's pretty stunning as is much of his work. I have sent him an email so hopefully will hear back. I love these two also.

Wow I really like that last one!

Oddly I just got a pipe stand from a co worker for free holds ten pipes and has the old glass humidor in the middle.
