How can I make my own air bottle holder?

[Clifftop]

Hello folks, I have done a search on here but didn't get many good results.

I have just, at last, purchased a small (3 litre??) air bottle to fill up my S400, a task which I only need to do a handful of times per year, so, for less cost and lighter weight/bulk, I opted for the smaller cylinder.

Over the years I have seen some excellent home-made carrying frames and I'd like to have a go at making my own.

Now, I have just watched a YouTube video of a frame made for a much larger diameter bottle, and whilst it was very informative, it wasn't to the spec I want to make mine.

Do any of you have such kit? If so, can you put some photos on here please?

Ideally, I want the neck end to fit into a U shape and the bottom end to fit into the diameter of the rest of the body, with a carry handle.

I already have a number of ideas in my head, but, seeing other people's examples is always a bonus.

Many thanks folks,

Cliff.

I've never tried to make one but if I had to set about it I'd consider a length of plastic sewer pipe. Easy to cut, shapes when hot then goes solid again. You could even cut a section out and bend the remaining strip up to make a carry handle.

Hi Clif, I got one from "Go dive" in leicester they are only £12 or so and are ideal for carrying bottles about.
It's just two Velcro straps with a handle stitched on them (but much better than my discription)

If you want a cradle for the car I got two lengths of 40x100mm wood 12" long and cut out two semi circles and held them together with a bit of floor board and this will stop it rolling round in the boot.

How about the kids favorite, paper mache?

I used to carry a 3 litre bottle around in a robust canvas tool bag. The bag only cost about £10 and there was room inside for the hose, Combro chrono, tins of pellets etc. You could always make up a couple of U shaped pieces of wood to hold it more centrally but the bag did for me for years.
