Being that there are no shops that sell helmet stands & that sellers on eBay either charge too much or won't ship to Hawaii. I decided to try & build my own. It took me 4 days to make it because of health reasons, I am quite pleased with the results. The total cost was about $7 for both stands.

Fantastic job! What is the diameter of the clear (plexi?) supports that the helmets rest on?

Thanks... The plexi is 1/4" thick, cut into an oval shape 5" wide by 7" long. I bought a scrap piece from a local hardware store for around $4 for a 8"X16" size. The 1" round post are from an old broom handle so it didn't cost me anything.

Rick,

I appreciate the well-thought placement of the back dowel to accomodate the catchers mask's dimensions.

Nice job, Rick!

Kind regards,

Ron.
