www.oldsnowboards.com Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Looking to my good friends and fellow alpine riders for ideas on methods to display snowboards. Nearing the end of construction on the "House of Oldsnowboards" project. FYI. In the past I have looked for the minimalist approach so as not to distract from the snowboards presentation. Currently I have some early boards mounted using "mirror clips" that are clear and somewhat blend into the background. I am leaning toward a bottom rail / shelf with mirror mounts.

utahcarver Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Bryan, This is going to be a great opportunity to make a 'statement' about who you are as a snowboarder, collector, and all-around-good-guy. As a recovering art student, I can tell you that you have a lot of decisions ahead of you. For example, you could use 'found' objects like rejected 'snow-stix' from Tinkler, roof racks that are modified to be board supports, anything that is related to snowboarding that might be re-purposed to be a stay or hold down. Boot buckles? Maybe even using ski objects like old poles, old skis, or lengths of cable from an old ski lift. In addition, you could fabricate objects that resemble snowboard artifacts. Maybe have Fin send you some rejected bails with the shoulder bolts and all of the rigging to mount into the wall? How about using old rat-trap bindings to hold the boards on the wall? Or, you could have a welder (yourself?) fabricate a form that resembled a plate binding or part and make matched pairs of them? In other words, think outside of your boxes and let your imagination run wild. Remember the light fixture you featured a few years back made from a Rad-Air Tanker? Yeah, that's the line of thinking I'm wanting to pursue here. My rates are cheap, and I'm mostly here. I can't wait to see what you come up with! Good luck my friend, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykcuz Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 ive always wanted to create a snowboard fan. find a commercial fan with blades long enough, remove those( potentially to try snowboarding on them) recreate attaching hardware mounting holeson snowboards. could also mount as book shelves or remove tips and piece together as a bartop. home cheapo sells a two part bar top resin that you can pour over the boards once on the bar to create a finished smooth bartop surace.
