Found a solution to support my extra 5 lb. CO2 cylinder after reviewing other ideas gleaned from various search results and came up with this.
PVC fittings:
Qty 4, $1.87 ea, 1/2-in x 1/2-in x 1/2-in dia 90-Degree Side Outlet Elbow.
Qty 8, $0.45 ea, 1/2-in x 1/2-in x 1/2-in dia 90-Degree Tee.
Qty 4, $0.51 ea, 1/2-in x 1/2-in dia Schedule 40 Cap.
PVC pipe: Qty 5, $1.88 ea, 1/2-in x 2 ft 600-PSI schedule 40 white.
PVC Cement: Oatey, 8-oz, $6.28
Leftover door jamb, 1x2, and stain: Free!
Total: $28.80 - $2.88 (10% Lowes military discount) + $1.81 tax = $27.73
Notes:
1. Stand base length and width about 16" x 16" for stability, matching approx. height of 5 lb CO2 clylinder.
2. Used leftover wood scraps for base and finished with Danish Oil natural oak. Glued two 1x2 pieces to bottom of door jamb for tight fit in between PVC section.
3. PVC cuts: 4 @ 15", 8 @ 5.25", 4 @ 3.25", and 4 @ 3.75".
4. Wiped off black print on PVC with nail polish remover for a cleaner look. Hint: do this before glueing (my mistake).
