Is that your idea?
Turned out nice by the way
You are supposed to have disc golf related stickers on it (at least, all the other ones I have seen did anyway)
Not my idea...wish it was, saw it on the one I copied. Shoes on the bottom was as far as my innovation went. Tennis balls work great. Stickers will come. just built it today.

Thanks Tyvek!! I like it too.

I shall put them on here for ALL to see!

It is made out of these pieces:
All PVC (schedule 40) is 3/4"
8 2' sections
4 5" sections
12 9" sections.


8 T connectors +
8 elbow connectors
(no thread on all these)
4 tennis balls ( cut two crossed slits in each ball)

I used 6 5ft pieces of the PVC, this is because could not fit 10ft sections in my car...so you could save a little by getting 3 10ft ones. had about 2 feet left over.

hope that helps, let me know if you need more info.

Is that a electrical panel behind that? If so, I don't think your installation is up to code...just kidding, looks good

BA also enjoys moonlit walks, finally crafted tequillas and looking thru peoples' blinds. He also enjoys the color Thursday. He keeps his stellar good looks thru clean living and gargling with bleach at least twice a day!

You don't want to know where he stores his discs, however. It's a very dark place.
I didn't know you knew BA so well... Not everybody knows about his favorite color Thursday.

How did I get drug through the mud on this? I just enjoy playing disc golf, meeting new people, drinking beer, buying others beers, and I keep getting hammered on these forums? I never talk smack, make fun of others, or even open beers in other players' drives. Again, please quit dragging me down!

P.S. You know where I keep my discs? Ask Gilby's mom.....

Does anyone think that I could sell these if made out of wood, and sent so that one would just piece together?

While I have limited space, the discs shouldn't be damaged by the method of storage (warping, discoloration, or rubbing off stamps).

Has anyone come up with a good method to store their discs? Clear containers? Stacking bins? Something else?
I found a great deal at Walmart awhile back on some of those clear plastic totes with a lid. The discs fit perfectly on edge, and each tub can hold around 25 or so discs. When we ordered from Innova I have about a dozen or more of these tubs, and they made transporting discs to tournaments, or events a breeze.

Well I have about 40 on the shelf in that picture. I'd say roughly 75-90 could fit on the three shelves. Putters seem a little wider and such. If he has that many I don't know if he'd need the tennis balls on those middle shelves, can't fit tennis balls on the bottom shelf without add feet somehow. You could also just make the 2 ft pieces longer though. I have about 60-70 discs, but keep some in the bags that you saw at all times and on walls. So that takes some off my shelf. Good luck, great present.

Depending on how many discs you have you could use one of those horizontal cd racks, basically some dowel between two plates. Should be easy enough to modify.

I made one 30" long for my friend (he has a lot of discs)
