Simple Cording Roll Holder compatible with speed reducer

[Pintodeluxe]

I wanted to mount a cording roll holder under the table of my upholstery machine.  Most of the pro setups use a long dowel to hold the piping roll, but my box style speed reducer was in the way.  My wife came up with a brilliantly simple mount made from 1/2" threaded iron pipe.  

It simply screws to the table with a pipe flange, allowing you to mount it anywhere you like. Two 8" lengths of pipe, a 90 degree elbow, and a cap complete the setup.  The cap keeps the roll from sliding off when sewing piping strips.  I left enough room to slide a roll off and on without needing to twist the pipe.  I tend to overcomplicate mechanical things, but my wife kept it wonderfully simple.  It works great.

Of course I had to paint the pipe hammered green to match my Juki!
