How to create your own helmet storage // helmet wall mount // helmet rack
So, I was looking for a convenient way to store my helmets. I wanted to keep them in sight in the hall, but on one condition: the system needed to be cool. And I found one! In this video I’ll show you how to make a your own cool storage for your helmet (s) (helmetrack, helmet storage). For the sake of completeness, I mention that I found this design on the internet, only unfortunately I cannot find the picture anymore. So the honors of the design are for someone else ;-). Anyway, with this design you can go many directions. For the discs you can use wood, plastic, etc. and you can also play with the shapes. Instead of steel you could also choose copper, aluminum, reinforcing steel or wire, etc.
Down below I’ll mention the necessary materials and tools as well as some info on the dimensions I’ve used.
I use a piece of steel 59cm long. The kinks that I make, are sequentially at 18.5, 19, 18.5 and 2 cm. The width of the sample is 2 cm and the thickness of 0,4cm. The diameter of the (oak) wooden discs are 15 and 9cm. The thickness of the discs are 2cm. Note for all dimensions: share by 2.54 and you have the inches.
I wish you lots of fun making this helmet rack (helmetrack, helmet storage) and if you have any suggestions for improvement let me know in the comments. To share your own design, please also share in the comments section of the video.
Work order
You can either start with the two wooden discs or the steel arm. I started with the wooden discs. Take a piece of wood and determine the diameters of both disks. You can play with it. It just depends on the result you want to achieve. Mark the circles and cut them out with a jigsaw. Use a sander for smooth sanding and for breaking the edges. If necessary, use varnish for extra effect.
Next, bend the steel into the desired shape with the nylon hammer. Use, if necessary a file and wire brush to smoothen it up. I chose sharper angles, but you can also work with curves for example. Drill three holes (one for the small wooden disc and two for the wall mount) with a drilling machine and immerse them so that the screws fall nicely in the steel arm. Afterwards deburr them. The diameter of the holes depends on the screws that you want to use. You can choose to paint on the steel to create your own personal touch.
Then you need a chisel and hammer to get rid of some wood (big wooden disc) so the steel bracket fits nicely into the disc.
Drill two holes in the surface (e.g. wall) where you want to attach the helmet rack. The diameter depends on the screws / wall plugs you’re using. Attach the small wooden disk to the bracket with one screw. Then screw the steel bracket on the wall. Clean the surface of the large wooden disc and use double-sided tape to attach it blindly to the surface.
Done.
Congratulations: You now have your own helmet storage // helmet wall mount // helmet rack !!
