Show me your homemade cleaning rod holder

[P1ZombieKiller]

I want to build me a traveling PVC cleaning rod holder that will hold 2 rods, and I wanted to see some of your designs before I head to Home Depot to get my supplies.

I was thinking 1/2" pvc and 2 sets of "T"'s to connect the 2 tubes.
I want screw on tops to keep the rods inside.

I made these indestructible rod holders for rifle and pistol cleaning rods. Also made the one to hold cleaning rods while cleaning barrels.

Not handmade but I caught it on sale for almost as cheap as PVC. Holds 4 rods (two handle down/two handle up).

I just used a 4 foot long piece of 2" pvc pipe, glued some dense foam into the end caps, glued one end cap on, the other is a friction fit. I've carried 4 Pro shot rods in this for 3-4 yrs, no damage to the rods at all.

I use proshot rods so the screw on caps work. For others your have to come up with something to hold them in.

That’s a great idea to where you have threaded fittings to make your rod handles exposed at opening.

Got to go downstairs now, see if you stole mine. The wood hangar with notches is /identical/ to the one I made on the bandsaw for that.

This is almost exactly how i was thinking, except i was going to put 2 set of "T's". I went to home depot earlier tonight. I will piece it together tomorrow.

Thinking about this, I wonder if you could put your tees the same distance apart as a standard portable table top width. That way you could bungee cord or tie it to keep it from moving around.

I use these verticle fishing rod holders . Cheap and work great.

Thats great, but i want something portable so i can take them to the range with me.

If you use the usual Plano case a set of Dewey rods will nest right inside. One less thing to forget to pack for your trip to the range.

I drilled and tapped mine for a small thumb screw at the top. I use pot shot rods and you can snug the screw up on the steel collar to keep them secure during transport. I also used 1/2” pvc.

I just got rid of my Plano cases. I was tired of trying to get 3 of them in my truck with all the other stuff. Went back to the flat standard kind of cases.

Was gifted an MTM cleaning rod case and it like it pretty good. It will hold 4 dewey rods and runs about $20 bucks probably couldn't round up all the stuff and make one any cheaper lol....

I saw those on the daily bulletin the other day, and ordered one. One of my cleaning rods is about 1" too long for it. Thus..... this little project.

@P1ZombieKiller man I'm wanting another plano air glide. If you've got one. See you at the tack driver !
I use the same rods for 30br and 6bra. Mostly at matches i have the rods with jags only.
I learned the hard way not to have my rods laying, sticking out for ppl walking by to snag & bend. I attach the holder standing up to the side of my table or cap and lay them long ways on the table.

Remove the jag or brush, it might fit then.

I can solve that problem just snap the end off.
Sorry couldn't help myself!!!
