I think is great! I would even call it art! Seriously. Have you seen the so-called "contemporary art" out there lately?

Maybe it can be painted black and look even better.

With a mouthpiece, it could also double as a musical instrument :lol:

Can't you just place it on the table and save $3?

Just a prototype

Thanks to all for the comments, I'd like to hear what more of you think. Gadgetman728, simplicity at it's best, nice. I tweaked this about 3 times to get it to this point, needs a little more work. Paint would be good but painting PVC is really a pain. It all has to be sanded, lots of irregular shapes very time consuming. I never felt really comfortable with a handheld just standing up on it's own, Murphy's Law you know.

If your not comfortable with painting take a look at some permenant marker black should stay on without fadeing or rubbing. try on scrap. I like it, and agree painting it would take some prep.
