Perfect video. I want to make something similar to yours for my son. He doesn’t have as many as you do and I really like how you took the wood that they stand on and the way you made them. So I’m going to take your idea and use the pipe fittings, mount them just like you did to the wood that holds each helmet, but I’m going to attach the flange (I think that’s what they are called) and attach each one to the actual wall. As a mom I’m not a fan of motorcycles because of the crazy vehicle drivers who don’t pay attention and cause too many accidents with the motorcycle driver. So be safe and thank you so much for a great tutorial.

That, is a decent job lad.
The only thing I'd change if this is how I do mine, is cut the board so the back sits flush!

[@GarageAddiction]

Thanks! Good call on flushing up the back, I might have to trim these up at some point!

good idea to occupy the space

Nice work, I need to reclaim some space too.

[@GarageAddiction]

Thank you! It's been great to see them out of a closet.

Love the idea man. Plan on using this method for my firefighting helmets. My question is, do you feel the acetone/poly step is really necessary if I’m using these inside? I’m thinking you did this because it’s in your garage where moisture is more likely to be present causing rust. Thanks

[@GarageAddiction]

Thanks! The fittings come with oil on them, guessing from the thread cutting, and it comes off all over your hands while working with them. I think enough of the oil remains on them to keep the rust away with this use but I just didn't want to deal with it down the road.

[@joelight20]

@@GarageAddiction gotcha. I’ll have to get a pic your way and show you how it turns out. Thanks again

[@GarageAddiction]

@@joelight20 Awesome, I look forward to checking it out! Should be awesome with some firefighting helmets for sure.

Local hardware stores should carry them, I also put some amazon links in the description!
