Double Hose display stand

[ivan's mermaid]

Hi Guys, I felt very much like your wives/girlfriends at first, but Rob's passion has lead to our home becoming the staging area for http://www.thescubamuseum.com

this picture that shows how Rob displays many of his special double hose regulators in a really nice barristor bookcase, that Rob built himself, actually made it into my daughters wedding album.

If I find parts laying around that Rob (forgets) to put away, I add them to the lovely Longenburger basket, doesn't look too bad.

This is one of the first areas I agreed to display some of Robs things, and it has spread all over the living room, to downstairs in the family room

And of course Christmas wouldn't be the same with out scuba nutcracker (thanx Simon beans)and our underwater, mermaid tree.
I could go on, but just want to mention that Rob has made some very nice coffee and end tables to display his collection and we get many great compliments from friends and family when they visit.

Can these stands be secured to a wall.I've been using something from Home Depot but there is nothing to support the mouthpiece.I will order one/

It can't be mounted to the wall directly as far as I can see but it could if you mounted an L-bracket to the wall then mounted this to the L-bracket.

I had a young spear fisherman over several months ago. He came in and was awe struck..."This is what a real divers home looks like? was his remark.

We have a set of SCUBA bells in the entrance hall, several small bells in the living room.
In one of the coffee tables there is a covered display area in which are displayed selected rare sea shells. Setting at the step up entrance to the living room is a rather large tridacnia shell filled with univalve shells.
Along the wall is a book case containing diving books as well as a stack of large "coffee table"diving books on the second coffee table.
On the wall is a picture of me painted by the late great John Steele ( the same picture that was featured in the 2001 anniversary issue of SDM.)
During the holidays Betty displays a rather normal Christmas tree in this room
That more or less covers the living room

In the family room another John Steele painting along with selected polished sea shell and sea fans and a dive book or two. There is a small Christmas tree decorated with items from past travels and events and a lot of gold ribbon streamers

In my office...Books and more books with a number of vintage regulators that have signicance to me. One special regulator is the gold plated AM Tommy Thomson presented to me when I was voted the "Outstanding LA CO UW instructor."
and five spear guns from years past when I was into spearing.
This is as far as the guest was treated to my home and diving memorabilia

In the downstairs recreation room we have a number of dive/ocean related décor items. One which draws great interest is the other half of the large tridacnia shell filled with bivalve shells which have been super glued together.
During the Christmas season we also have a small tree room which is strictly diving orientated. Small sand dollars, star fish and commercial dodads acquired during our travels.

So apparently the Christmas décor at a diver's home is unique and diving orientated - at least ours is-- how about yours?
