Show me your homemade cleaning rod holder

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.

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.
 
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 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.
 
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.
