Here is another link for the do-it-yourselfer. I found a lot of this stuff interesting. I happened to find this site when looking for plans for a marker stand. After finding what I needed to find I browsed some of the other stuff and now will have quite a few projects for the next few months. www.squidoo.com/homemadepaintball |

Very nice, Shell Head. Vizh will be more than happy to see the plans for a marker stand, actually.

I just made my first project, paintball caddy, all I have to do is paint it and then I will post pictures of it, hopefully tomorrow.

Ok here is the paintball caddy unpainted, sorry I didn't have time to paint it. It's made from a Maxwell House Coffee container and the top of a small bottle of Hawaiian Punch. It has a locking lid and was put together with hot glue.  Top view of the caddy  Side view  Some what of a side view  Bottom of the lid All in all it cost me maybe $8-$10 to make. Hopefully I can have it painted by tomorrow before work. |

Don't worry I will.The mouth of the bottle fits perfectly on a pod. I'm sure it will work perfectly fine.

The only thing I'm actually concerned with, to be truthful, is the hot glue used to join the two portions.
Of course for $8-$10, I suppose one can't really complain when it finally wears away, right? It's still a huge savings for you, either way, as some caddies go for $30 or so.
I'm kind of tempted to make one myself, now. I believe I have everything I'd need already.

I would it saved me $25 as I have compared prices. As for the hot glue it's like duct tape it fixes everything.
