Boards On The Wall Thread

[jerrygurneyscream]

New job, decided to splurge on a few decks. Does anyone have best practices for mounting/protecting wall boards? I don't want to mess too much with the wood and would love if anyone had good ideas for protecting the graphic (no direct sun right now, but looking to move in the next year).

I leave (most) of my boards in the wrap and hang using two thumb tacks and a thin shoe lace, although ive been doing that since middle school so theres gotta be a better way

Definitely the easiest way. Appreciate it!

I ended up buying some wall mounts on Etsy for $5 a pop. They work well, idiot proof basically

I like to use fishing line, you don’t really notice it

Used to use fishing line. Now I use tiny little zip ties and life is much better.

Good looking set but you have to doing about the spacing on the hang - anxiety inducing 

[coldbrew]

@FS-OverKOOK I swear they're even it's just the angle of the photo and the shadows haha you just made me go upstairs and double check though as it was starting to give me anxiety thinking about it.

I'm sure they're evenly spaced from each other, but not from the floor

@DISTANT RUMOURS - what a collection especially the pre-Mindfield decks before AWS blew up and still had the mysterious vibe around them.




Found a local collector selling these and contacted him about the Donny Barley deck; ended up talking for 45 minutes and with 3 boards total. These are probably from the mid-2000s when Donny Barley and Aaron Suski were on Birdhouse. Nose and tail are extremely tapered and they still have the signature BBS alignment dot on the front truck mounting holes.

I've been trying to find the Donny Barley Pro Setup clip from 411, think it was between #55 to #67, he was setting up a Birdhouse deck with a reissue of his original Toy Machine deck (red stain, blue guy smoking). If anyone know the clip please let me know.

I still owe my buddy the toy machine smoking barley deck. It’s only been 25 years…maybe one day

Please let me know how to evenly space up a stairway with an overhang and additions and I will gladly listen.

At this point I’ll just post my address and y’all can come do it for me.

Perfect, 5 Boro decks are awfully hard to come by in locals out west.  Can I replace and hang your stuff with perhaps some blood wizard or creature?

here’s a couple i have on the wall, the rest are packed away

[BluffsideTank]

I just bought a few AWS decks! Two are still in the wrapper (Dill and Salazar Warhol decks) and I don't want to damage the plastic, so rethinking how I want to display them.

[DISTANT RUMOURS]
