Hope the pics and details are a help Tman

Nice idea BB50
I had not thought to use precast pavers or concrete. I have made mine using Sewer pipe, but have cast my own tops and bottoms onto the posts directly

Ken

What a great idea. Thanks for sharing that. I have yet to start work on benches t dipslay my bonsai (yeah I know I got it the wrong way round) but my collection started and somehow grew so now I have nowhere to put them...bring on November holidays!

G/Day! Tman and KC,

Top marks for ingenuity guys!

T Man, your stand looks great.

Ken, I love the Junction, very artistic, How did you fix the stand on the elbow piece?
I assume you poured a mould? Seems tricky to me, but the result is very effective.

Yes I made a mould out of timber and poured the concrete in, Added the pole with suitable support to hold it till the concrete went off

Turn upsidown and do the other end.

the Mould was just a flat sheet of timber, with 3x2" timbers screwed on each edge to form the sides. I had 2 Forms on 1 piece of timber, and could do 2 poles at the same time

Hi Ken,
I love your 45 degree stand. It looks great.

Regards Ray

Thanks

Just had that one lying around and though what the heck, get creative

Fantastic! I shall have to make some also. The moss on the junction looks awesome Ken.

You're praising the wrong person Gary. I asked the question about the construction on his other topic about the set-up of his garden. The work was done by BonsaiBoy50. He's the one that deserves the credit - not me

Thanks for the well detailed description BB50.

Hey KC, if you ever wanted to hide the terracotta look of the sewer pipes, you could paint them with a nice stone paint which would give you colour and texture.

Cheers,
Mojo

Thanks Mojo
I never thought about it before, but I like the look of BB';s painted poles

Stone texture would look good or possibley bright red and black

Have to experiment me thinks
Ken

OOPS!

Apologies to Bonsai Boy and also to you Tman.

It really is a good way to present your trees.
