The thing with my plan is that they would be really easy to knock loose, so
you'd want to spin it verrrrry carefully. I'm not sure how I would bridge
the gap between the H thingie and whatever I came up with that had pins
stuck in it either.

If you get stuck for ideas, I can noodle around some more. I'm pretty good
at cobbling stuff like this together out of whatever junk I have laying
around. If there's one advantage to the McIntyre-inherited inability to
ever throw anything away, it's times like this when there's something to
rig up.

(If I could figure out how to get paid to be a professional improvisational
engineer, I would never feel a need to retire.)

That's more like it then. I love it when somebody has a spirit of
adventure!

I can't afford most of those gizmos from Tool Pusher myself.

Just basically thinking stuff up untested here.

I'm thinking of a lazy suzan type thingie as a base, with a pole sticking
out of the middle and an H-shaped thingie on top of the pole. Could be
more complicated, or could have more than one pole.

Each H thingie ends with some kind of thing to hold the frame with minimal
contact. I'm thinking some kind of rig with sewing pins or similar stuck
in the wood in a few places. The frames would just barely be hanging on,
but the holes would be easy to hide, so you could do the whole thing in one
shot.

Maybe build it to do seven at a time, so you can shoot them, let them dry
for an hour, remove them, and shoot another batch, getting it done in five
cycles per coat.

Just rough ideas. I can keep thinking if you want, or I can defer to the
person sure to follow up who will tell you how you can buy the Spinning
Spraymaster 2000 XL from Tool Pusher for only $99.95, and then you'll
follow up that you bought three and threw in a couple of Unisaws while you
had your wallet out, and life was good.

That's what usually happens anyway.

Your idea sounds better than what I had come up with. I was thinking of
creating a mat of sewing needles on the lazy susan. I thought that I could
shoot the inside and outside while the back was on the needles. I could
only do one at a time with my idea and would have to do the back at another
time.

No "Spraymaster 2000 XL from Tool Pusher for only $99.95" for me. Time to
start prototyping...
