Default Car stand

So I don't know if I should post this in this section? But hey I'm proud of what I've made and want to share,

So my problem was that I have x2 buggys on the shelf above the fridge, they didn't quite fit on the shelf and because they were up high you couldn't see them overly well,



So i decided to make a pair of matching stands to tilt them and make them look more appealing. As it was an experiment, I didn't want to spend much. I made the plates myself and got a couple of ball head camera mounts from hong kong for less than £5! I soon realised that I needed some nuts and bolts to mount the plates to the mount. I got some 1/4 UNC countersunk screws and nuts from eBay and I also picked up some self adhesive rubber feet. I made the plates up from some scrap metal and welded a UNC nut onto the base of the car support plate, I also countersunk the plate for the countersunk screw to sit flush in,

Anyway enough talking, let me post my pics,





And my buggys on the shelf......
