"Tonic" Simple/Functional Stand

Joe Clymer · Post by **Joe Clymer** » 11 Apr 2008 2:49 pm

This is a stand I came up with not wanting to go to a rack system. I've used it several times and it seems to work very well. It's pretty simple to make and comes apart to fit in my seat. You'll notice I added an extra hole to accomadate my RV-3. It also keeps it within reach for adjusting. If you'd like one but don't want to make it yourself, I'll make it for $35. It's made from 3/4" birch plywood and 1/2" oak dowel- that's it. Just thought I'd share this with Tonic users that may not want a full rack. Any questions can be directed at jclymer@scican.net. Under subject use :Tonic Stand. Thanks, Joe[/url]

A picture would help would it not? I've done this before but I guess I've got old-timers disease and can't get it to work right now.

OK, here's a couple of pics, the white felt don't look so good but I've got some brown felt now I'm going to replace it with

Very clever Joe and nice and simple --- I remember Brad Sarno mentioning that he was going to develop an attachment for the Tonic to hook on the side of a pac-a-seat which would be very convenient too.

Yeah, I have plans for a hook/bracket thingy that could let the Tonic hang off a pack-a-seat, but it's proving to be a bit too pricey to manufacture at this point.

I'm really liking Joe's idea here a LOT! I may have to get me one.

Thanks for the compliments guys. To be so simple, it really does work well.

I do'nt have a clue on how to send a pic.
I am using two pieces aluminium flat bar.approx an inch an a half broad by one sixteenth thick.
Each piece is shaped to fit around the "Tonic"in a kind of U shape and one end is hooked and hangs off my pak seat.they fit very easily ino the pak seat for transporting.
I was easier to fabricate than it was to describe.

Here's Billy's perfect solution to the problem !!

Nice and light and will fit in the seat after the gig. Now Billy all you need is a beer holder on the other side !!
