I saw it, but now I can't find it. It was like a square pvc "cubby"
It's a color organizer, square pvc. I think it was 6 squares x 6 squres, so 36 total.
It was only thirty something bucks. I'd rather buy it than make it and get more torch time.
Any idea where I saw this?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Not sure, but I am pretty sure you can buy a few lengths of gutter down spout and have them cut them to length for you at home despot
I built mine out of 4x4 fence post covers. It turned out really nice but cost a lot more than 30 bucks.

I used vinyl downspout, works great. Use silicone or E600 or Liquid Nails to glue them together, and optionally build a wooden substructure for every 3x3 or 4x4 section....

i hope you find it A. If not id be glad to help ya cut down some gutter or pvc. I have a table saw and chopsaw and will be in houston for a few days (1st-4th). just FYI the rain gutter are like $8 a piece (8') and you will probably need about 5 or 6 of them. home depot or lowes has em.
a few tips if you do the pyramic thing tho. make the pvc like 19 or 20 inches long that way the color rods are longer than the holder so you can grab them. a back is a good idea so you dont accidently push them through to the back. I use big ass zip ties so hold mine together while the pvc glue dried.
oh and i know i posted that pic on ur fb but thats for my color storage. I use the pvc tower for my rod storage. I break full rods down in half so make them easier to use. That way i can grab a full 3mm or 6mm rod to do honeycombs with without having to stop what im doing and break down a full length rod.
matt has my number at the shop or just pm me/fb me if you need help.

Yeah they are 8 or 10 ft plastic downspouts, home depo, think they are like 6 bux each, I cut mine up with a saw , cause they are hard to cut by hand. Made a box frame outta wood, that holds the pcs, doubles as a table in the shop

The smaller square ones are fence material out in the lumber department at Lowes.. Perfect for color.

i lookd into the fence posts and altho they are perfect 4x4, its like $30 for 100" of the stuff. thats about 3 times the cost of rain gutter and almost the same size. go with gutter bro

Yeah. I'm just going to go to HD/Lowe's and grab some. I was just really trying to find something pre made. Oh well. I know I saw what I'm looking for. Just can't find it now. I'll see it again after I make it, I'm sure. lol
Thanks for your time and offering to help. If you have time, drop by the shop when you're in town.

I've seen those smaller likw 2x2 or 3x3 inch plastic grids in multiple colors... I see them at art supply stores sometimes, and at office supply stores... I have no idea what their intended use is tho, so who knows what they're called.

That is just 2x6 fence rail (PVC) glued together. Yes it molded into three chambers (two webs) for strength.

We will have 4 and 6 inch pvc tubes for sale on the hella cheap soon. We are completely reorganizing shit, with a new system. So, we can sell the PVC for half our cost. Pre cut to 30" length. 4 and 6 inch diameter. It's been great over the years, but we are just going to a different system.
