Made these out of the craft wood they have available at Homie's/Lowe's. Simple to build cost is minimal. These are made from ash. I am making some from oak right now. The uprights I just use my drill press and cut a half hole the same diameter as the individual end of the plug for a nice fit.....sometimes a little work with the drum sander to make a nice fit!:cool:

almost don't see the sweeeet plug as much as i do the stand just my 2 cents....

make them out of lexan then...

stores sell smaller pieces 2' x 2 '
cut the parts
then you just bond them together
after you buff the edges that show

make them out of lexan


That was my first thought, 1/16 thick. Good idea though.

google forming plexiglass, it's a thermoplastic. heat it up and it softens
And if you know a glass guy you can get all the small stuff you want for next to nothing

Why not bend up some stands from some nice wire from the craft shops? That would be even more invisible than plexy.
