[FONT="]I would like to make a VCR stand from copper tube and pipe clips to go in my cupboard.[/FONT]
[FONT="]But I am stuck for ideas as I’ve not done anything like this before, so I could really do with some diagrams, plans anything like that.[/FONT]
[FONT="]
The stand is for a couple of VCR players, a Sega Saturn and a switching panel for Scart connectors. Yes I know they're old but I still use them and they're fun.[/FONT]:8:
[FONT="]
The feet will rest on copper sheet soldered or brazed on to upturned ends or on top of an elbow that‘s on its side, and it will be fixed to wall and shelf with bibtap brackets and pipe clips. [/FONT]
[FONT="]
I was originally going to use 3/8" ply, then to hide the joins at the front so it looks like one piece, I was going to mark out the profile on a sheet, cut it out, take off most of the layers from the back and stick it on the front.
There would have to be holes for air circulation on the platforms and side.
But then I thought copper pipe would look so much [/FONT]:coolgleamA:[FONT="] and different from anything else I've seen, I'm not really into trendy stuff but I thought this is a bit different.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]I will post some pics when it’s done.
Any diagrams, plans or models please, would be appreciated, Thank you.[/FONT]
[FONT="]
Plus I would like to practise bending and soldering and don't want to waste the pipe if possible.[/FONT]
[FONT="]So I thought why not and it will look [/FONT][FONT="]really [/FONT]:coolgleamA:[FONT="] hopefully.[/FONT][FONT="]
