Field Marshall Lenny Posted March 3, 2016 Field Marshall Share Posted March 3, 2016 There's got to be a better way of displaying buckles on the belts... Although I quite like the randomness of this. my buckles on their own are in metal shallow drawers, just much harder to display belts. Anyone got any novel belt display methods? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAK D Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) Very nice You would need loads of glass display cabinets for those mate. I see some tropical sets too. D Edited March 3, 2016 by DAK D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Field Marshall Lenny Posted March 3, 2016 Author Field Marshall Share Posted March 3, 2016 I just don't have the space for glass cabinets... Yeah, few tropical sets there as well as some without belts.... I'd paused buckles for a while, German grenades have been keeping me busy for a while..

Major General Waffenamt Posted March 3, 2016 Major General Share Posted March 3, 2016 Same here on glass cabinets. I only have one in the entire room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav352 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 You could try floor to ceiling pigeonholes with the holes just big enough to take a rolled belt with buckle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea, but really struggling for wall space... may have to just persevere with the random wall of buckles.... Like a buckle Jenga... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav352 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Or maybe a leaning tower of buckles that would get the the old ticker racing every time you open the door 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Timowski Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I have seen these for judo belts, a few of them and you could have a floor to ceiling column. I have seen acrylic ones too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HetzersGonnaHetz Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 @Lenny Just an idea, might be a bit silly but have you ever thought of buying one of those poles cats use to scratch and just find the tallest one and stack belt on belt...

HetzersGonnaHetz Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 60/40 That sounds very good, I'm afraid @Lenny me and Dave have commandeered your collection 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davejb Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 On a serious note, you could utilise the back of your door, buy some peg board ,the length and width of the door, allowing space to open the door hinge side, attach the peg board with spacers so that there is a small gap. You then attach the belts horizontally with spaced pegs and any over lap either end just folds over in between the board and the door, that way you could get at least 40-50 on the door, Yes I know I,m a genius but I dont brag about it....

OD33 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Seems like you could improvise with a coat-hanger like contraption, where the bottom (brace?) of the hangar could "snap-in" with the belts just hanging in a closet. I don't know if that would be good for vintage leather, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Field Marshall Lenny Posted March 28, 2016 Author Field Marshall Share Posted March 28, 2016 Thanks for the suggestions, but think I'll stick with my leaning wall of buckles, in the meantime anyway... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylon1357 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 what about a ceiling hook attached to a moderate sized rope. put a nice piece of wood at the bottom end of the rope and stack the belts up. You could have then suspended from the ceiling at a couple of different heights. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davejb Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Ohh, I,ve just had another idea, Get one of those large cardboard tubes that you get from the inner of a carpet, they are normally about 7 or 8 feet in length and pretty large in circumference, you can put each belt on them ,stack them and secure them by elastic bands at the rear, and just have it from floor to ceiling, a bit like a TR totem pole, they,ll look neat, they,ll be stacked and secure and out of the way and safe from falling over, and they will retain the shape of the belt.You know sometimes I surprise myself with how clever I am 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
