RegionRat said:I did a little scrounging around the garage and found all the parts I needed to make the stand. The nozzle was ordered online. I think I have around $60 to $70 invested and a couple hours time.
I plan on using it to bottle some Sparkling Hard Cider tomorrow.
Looking good! So how'd it work out for you?
I have found while messing around just filling bottles with water there is an optimal place to get the least amount of product sucked into the overflow.

I've found controlling the vacuum was the best way to that. Are you using a Harbor Freight vacuum pump?
That is very nice. You should start selling them on here?
Thanks for the idea RR, Buddy and I built me one last night........he does metalwork for a living and has access to powder coater so after a little shake and bake at powdercoater next week I will mount it on a base and give it a try.........we were a little confused on the spring tension. How much did you load the spring, if any, with no bottle under it.

Thanks..........I'll look lot better after powder coating and get it on a base. I have some white plastic board 1/2 thick kinda like chopping boards are made out of I'm gonna make the base out of. What really matters is how well it works..........maybe know that middle of next week.

RR, I remembered you mentioning that about the stop and that is the reason we kept the base of the stand behind the upright and planned bolting it to a plastic or wooden base as either would be easier to incorperate a stop on. At the restaurant we have several table mounted peices such as prep machines and shake mixers, they have screw on suction cup feet to prevent them from moving while using, I'm gonna see if I can come up with some of those feet put on the bottom instead of having to clamp it down.
