While I know you can buy these HVLP paint sprayer stands very cheap, I recently made a new tool for bending metal and making one of the these stands was a great way to test it out. See the metal bender tool here: http://www.348-409.com/forum/threads/bench-vice-mounted-metal-bender.36597/
I do admit, I did copy the basic principle of the store bought versions but made mine all from 1/4" round steel rod doing away with the sheet metal base theirs has. I also made it so the gun sits high enough that I can keep a moisture filter and quick connector on the end. I gave the top filter portion the ability to swing out of the way or you can pull it right out and remove it if desired.
I've been needing one of these for a LONG time! No more setting my gun on the floor propped up against something or doing a juggling act when refilling the cup! A finish coat of Rustoleum is all that's needed to finish this one but I might also add a way for this to mount to a peg board for storage.
