I did think of drilling the base to the shelf like you mentioned. So far I think it’s the best solution. I want to still be able to pull the C off the base for ease of getting watches on and off. I must remember to give you a discount off your next purchase in thanks for advice you’ve given Easy one : Pre drill the fuck out of the stand, then put a screw in it, you won't crack the plastic that way... but this will be ugly... as you. To make it less ugly than you, you can use plastic screw and bolt, they exist in semi-translucent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like it needs a permanent bond to the shelf Replace the felt with velcro fabric? I think they make it in sheets. Place the other part of the velcro fastener on the bottom of the stand?

Sooooo glad I discovered this thread today, you lot are hilarious. Seems a common theme that most of my posts turn to Shit. Some vary so much that I totally forget what the fuck I was talking about in the first place 5 hours ago, Xpletiv said: Screw that, start all over! Remove the shelves, make a cushion holder set-up that covers the whole back panel top to bottom(take the style that is used in the drawers and apply it to a vertical surface), then make up 2 rows(or what fits)of cushion panels(again top to bottom)for the insides of each door, just make sure that the doors can open without hitting each other. This way they are all in the open and not blocking the next and no worry about falling over. You'll be done by new years eve! You know what, this isn’t the worst idea in the world......

Xpletiv 16 Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) Exactly^, just picture it, even draw it out, see how many can fit just to get an idea, it's like an unfolding treasure chest! As long as the cushions fit in snugly there shouldn't be any problem with stuff falling out, hell, I can practically turn some of mine upside down and they stay in. Granted they're not Youblow Muffdiver4000s in weight... Draw it it, you know know you're going to like it. I think reaching in and around the C stands woul drive me knutz, and then you'll know what the C stands for! HA! Edited December 30, 2017 by Xpletiv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cubic Hare 494 Posted December 30, 2017 Getting back on track...... A while back I bought these from either the Gate or Ali. 8cm base makes them stable enough for even big heavy watches and covered in black felt. The C clip is spring steel and very bendable to suit. I don't think they would slide even at a decent angle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted December 30, 2017 If you're going for the stands pre drill the screw holes in the stands to stop them cracking and also drill pilot holes through the shelves for your securing screws. Sounds obvious when I wrote it but if you don't could fuck it up 1 minute ago, Cubic Hare said: Getting back on track......

As the C comes off the base rather easily it makes the reach around (lol) bit not really an issue, but yes, I already have a picture in mind.

TheTinMan 13 Posted December 31, 2017 They look nice. I actually thought about covering my C stands with felt as I have enough left over I wonder how well (or poorly) felt would stay on those. I’m interested to hear your results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
