If so can you let me know roughly how much one would be please.

What a cool idea - fancy one myself!

Old broom handle cut into lengths, drill bit that makes holes (to the right size) and a length of wood about 6"-8" wide and 1" thick. Make holes at suitable intervals, twist in a piece of the cut broom handle and you have yourself a boot tidy!


My theory is good. Not sure I will be very good putting it into practice!

Problem I have with things like that is you have to handle the wellies to put them into it.  Mine are always too mucky and I step out of trousers and wellies together so it wouldn't work.

Exactly the same thing here.  :mud:

Remember this isn't supposed to be a critique of the design, it's a wanted ad.

I'll start the bidding at £350 (postage included  ).

Hang it a bit higher up and make a hand stand against it.... no need to touch them. Putting them on should work the same way I guess....

I replied to this last night but its been removed?

I just said I thought it a great idea and might have a go myself but asked what size and whether ply or hardwood is used as that would affect costs.  It wasn't a bid as such but something to try when I finish the clocks and mirrors I'm working on just now.

[ScotsGirl]

The ones I've seen which look diy looked like hard wood rather than ply which might separate if they start to get wet. I think it would be fun to try on a dark wet evening. It doesn't have to be up high, I have a metal one sitting on the ground. The thicker and heavier the base piece is the less likely it will be to topple over.

from the picture some 6x1 treated boards and some broom handle couple of hours work and some paint if i was making to sell as a 1 off it would be around the 40-50 mark, i would imagine if you were in the mood to make several on a punt you could get unit cost down to 30-40 just through its much quicker to make several than just 1...


if you wanted a really smooth finished sanded and polished version (why would you its for wellies) icould see a retail point for hand made in the 75 range...


am i currently looking for projects like this NO!!! but i think those are fairly good guestimates based on materials and effort assuming someone already had all the tools...

[Bionic]

The one in the picture is on sale for £59 but they have only got it in cream 
There is another similar one but it stands on the ground that is £165 


I wanted one for OH for Christmas but definitely not paying the higher price. Just thought if anyone on here was making one I would rather give the money to them that some unknown.

[sokel]

Just shown a friend it and he is going to make us one, he reckons he could make them easy

[Womble]

Darn, I've been undercut! 
 
You're right, you'll never keep a cream one clean. However, it would be easy enough to overpaint it in the colour of your choice.
 
What confuses me is how do you then get from outside to inside without getting your socks soggy?

[devonlady]

You would have to have it inside but then, the floor would still be filthy and a few sheets of newspaper or a bit of cardboard would do just as well, surely.
Sorry, Bionic but I think this has been designed and made by someone who's idea of wearing wellies is to tip-toe down to get the post/newspaper.
