any ideas
 

was sorting through my loose shells today and was wondering how you fellas displayed your single shells... im open to ideas and hopefully some pictures...mine has set in the corner in a big box for to long.... charlie

Charlie, I made these racks as a weekend project. Oak slats and blocks purchased at Lowes home center. A few holes bored on the drill press, some stain,screws = Wall mounted shell racks. The basic idea could be modified to suit your needs. HTH:cheers:

I do not display my collection, but use small Plano lure boxes. Each one has 5 equal sized compartments that hold all shells up to, and including, the 3-1/2" 10 gauge. I have different boxes for 8s and 4s. I have used these little tackle boxes for 20 years and have never experienced any degradation of my specimens, including rifle and pistol cartridges. They stack neatly and offer excellent protection for my shells.

Robert,
I love that second photo. A real Parker man always properly aligns all screw slots. Very few people will walk thru my house and notice the screws on every electrical outlet are regulated but I see it.:)

Larry....You're scarin me....:rotf:

...and I thought I was the only one with this anal obsession. It's good to know others suffer from it, too.

Not you too Greg !........:shock:

Charlie,
Try one of these.

Larry, Glad my obsession has not gone unnoticed. It has become a debilitating disease. A turnscrew in every room of the house just in case,one in each pocket (concealed carry) for out of house emergencies. Side effect of the Parker disease I suppose.:rotf::rotf:

You mean to tell me that there are actually people out there who install outlet plates without regulating the screws?! Tell me it's not true!! BTW Robert, the second and third brass screws are a tad off.... :rolleyes:
