When spraying finish in my shop, I didn’t have a convenient place to set my spray gun and small pressure pot. I considered making a custom stand, but then I discovered this chrome-plated, rolling medical IV stand, which I could buy for less than the cost of parts to make one.

The stand has hooks to hold the gun and pressure pot, an adjustable mast, and four casters on a wide base, which makes it very stable. I can roll my spray equipment to where I need it and have a convenient place to hang up my gun and pressure pot. New and used IV stands are available for less than $30 from eBay and other online sales and auctions.
