DIY Test tube holder

I made this because I was tired of balancing test tubes on my table and always knocking 1 over and spilling its contents. It was designed to hold 2 dif size tubes 1/2 in (aquarium pharmaceuticls) and 5/8 Red Sea tubes. The salifert tubes that I have are much larger and easy to balance. Only 15 min to make the board, took longer to stain and clearcoat.

LOL, COOL thanks.
Yea I dont know why I stained it I guess I could not just leave it bare. And if you are going to stain it why not clear coat it as well.

I like it.

I always wanted to make one that vibrates or oscillates for titrating tests. Then you don't have to swirl while dripping, you could just drip it in and it would mix itself.

Thanks,
Thats a cool idea, I hope you build it. That would be interesting to see if it can be done inexpensively. I have seen those on a larger beeker type scale but not for test tubes.
Maybe a small medical type centerfuge thinggyy. LOL
