It's a home made sock holder, I cut 4" diameter holes in a sheet of plexiglass and mounted a reinforced piece at 90 degrees to the holes. Glued a couple tee's to the reinforced piece and there you have it.......

The best pic I have of the sock holder...I borrowed my daughter's camera to take these pics. I'd take a better pic if I could...

That looks really nice Mike, I see you also build yourself the collector for your skimmer. Did you find plans for that or did you "wing It"?

60 buck skimmer?! Good Score!!!!

 I made the collector by the seat of my pants, I made a shut off with a ping pong ball and a piece of tubing the ping pong ball fit into. Funny thing is it actually works. The collector filled up and the ball shut the skimmer down. Made it for about $25....
