Airbrush holder

You really can't go wrong with the Badger 125 that has been redesigned. Really beats the old metal ones. I know you want to build your own, but the Badger ones can be had for $9.00 ( or less in some cases ) and will hold any brush that you can think of.

i made this 4 brush station at Lowe's for about 15.00

 

I made mine out of a coathanger, and it has the added bonus of actually securing the airbrush due to the way that the front end is a circle that the nose of the brush inserts into before you cradle the back end.  Note that the cup is level, I holster the brush while filling, and the secure hold makes this a one-handed job, which can help when you are holding a part.





I simply started bending the wire coathanger with pliers with the front end, then proceeded into a snug form, testing every bend as I went.  I then, as you can see, duct taped it to the stand that holds my respirator.  (This stand is actually a Dremel hanging stand that doesn't fit my model, but I got it for a buck.)  This holds the brush so well that it withstands getting bumped and backed into.

Nice hanger! Pun intended!

I made one from a coat hanger also. Works great and was free.

I bought a tool hook in a hardware store and then screwed it into the side of my spraying booth. Keeps it out of the way as well.
