Thread: best way to mount game used sticks to a wall?

We have a few sticks here at our work and I was looking at this set-up to display them:
Where to purchase Hockey Stick Hangers

Looks nice, but a little pricey at $20 a piece.

That's what all my searches lead to as well.

I painted the nails holding my sticks up with the wall color paint but you can also go black. Put the stick where you want it on the wall and then slightly push or tap the nails into the sheetrock just enough to go past the thickness of the stick. Like a shelf made of nails. I put at least 2 nails along the length of the shaft and one where the toe radius of the blade touches the wall. If the Toe feels like its going to swing down, add a little piece of double stick 3M foam tape to it. 3M won’t peel your wall paint or gypboard paper off when you want to move the stick, cheap crap will.

If you’re in CA, you’ll probably need to sticky tape it in more places because of the moving ground.

Im starting to think that you guys have absolutely no f***ing clue about what Im talking about.

I dont have my sticks hanging at the moment but I do have a few of my Samoan, Tongan and Maori weapons hanging using the description I posted. I'll try to shoot off a picture later today and post it.

Short of hiring a Umpa-Loompa and having him figuring it out, the way I described is BY-FAR the easiest and cheapest way to go. If you can work a hammer and level, you can do it. If you can’t, hire the Umpa-Loompa.

I like your way too! I am just a bit leary to use tape on them.

You could also go to your local hardware store and see if they sell "Valance Holders" for mini-blinds...in the Blinds Section. Use what's called a "Drywall Bulldog" and push the Valance holder into it.

And when I say "tape"' I mean a piece about 1/2"X1/2".

Here's the handle portion of a Axe. I used leftover nails from a picture hanging kit to do this. As you can see, its painted the same color as the wall. This bitch weighs in at 20lbs too:


Axe's head held in place using same process. If I wasnt so lazy, Id paint those nailheads black and you'd never know the difference. Sorry about the dust. I need to get the wench on that:



Hope this leads you in the right direction...

BTW, Its a Hand carved, Ironwood, Raku fired Samoan Axe I picked up in AS back about 10 years ago. I also have a Chest Splitter and a Lady's Eye Gouger. A good Sole buddy of mine's Tama made it.

Paint your walls brown and the poo matches.
