Random objects pressed into service to display your weapons!!

Excellent ideas gentlemen! Good reuse Trenchwarfare!

Love the collections Spunjer, Great way to keep them safe and still easy to see!

I had problems displaying helmets and finding stands that weren't too huge to fit on a shelf.
For a while I was using this 19thC Nepalese Oil Lamp to display a Khud with long chainmail:

Seems a shame for such a nice object, but it still gets pressed into service for helmets that are a bit large or long or very heavy.

But I wanted a permenant solution that would be good for most helmets and be cheap and simple.

Here it is!

What am I using?

LOL, Kitchen tissue towel holder! Wooden and available for about a pound or two from many outlets.

I have a valve from a V-24 Off-shore deisel, I use for a helmet stand. Stainless steel, 12" tall, with a 6" base. Weighs about 5lbs.

Switch the drawers around for a change .

I've also created magnetic stands.I can use them for any sort of sword, knife, axe...even with scabbard. Useless to have one stand for one knife, it's easy to change when I want !

Wow! Great idea for stands. Fantastic collection!

Scary collection of throwing knives!

I'm loving the theme! Makes me think I should specialise, looks amazing.
