Default SFS Display stands

Ok guys, here is my first take on some "cheap to make, but professional looking" display stands for Small Ford Sunday. Use your imagination as I didn't bolt it together properly.

The idea is that everyone prepares a "fact sheet" about their cars, and this slips into the perspex holder which is then mounted on the post which sticks in the ground. Simple to make ( I am happy to make enough for everyone)

You mount the perspex by gluing a small piece of timber (with hole drilled through it) to the back with superglue. A hole is drilled towrads the top of the stake. A bolt is then slipped through the stake and through the timber piece to join them together, and allows for adjustment of the angle

Garden stake (Recycled plastic) $2.50
Wing nut, bolt and spring washer a few cents
Small square of timber a few cents each
A3 perspex holder too expensive!





Imagine this standing up straight!



The perspex holders are about $25 each from Officeworks and therefore too expensive IMHO.

If people like the idea, can you keep your eyes out for a cheaper source??

If we can do this, then the Euroford display would look very together and very slick. Not just a line of cars. My view is that people like to be able to read something about the car. If we all had them, then I think it would give the club a much more unified display

Anyway, let's open this up for discussion
