i made this on because i could not find any nice looking test tube holders

its billet aluminum cnc machined and blue anodized just thought i would post to see what people think, and maybe consider making more
it has drain holes to allow drying after use.

Very nice build.
I might borrow your basic idea if I may, though no blued biletted aluminum, but rather a block of drilled wood.
No high tech machinist here.
Thanks for sharing.

I have no copy right. Go ahead. If i could get enough people wanting them i could sell them for a resonable price. But just to make one here and ther the proce would be close to 175. If i could get a good order it would be about 40

Very nice indeed. Only. Wouldn't that be a little more functional made out of a chunk of ABS, PVC or Nylon?

It is functional just not practical. If i didnt make it the cost would be 300 to have a shop make 1. I made it just because i wanted somthing that looks nice. There are plastics that can be used but the cost differeance isnt worth it to me when the metal looks nicer
