    Homemade PC hanging bracket-patent pending lol

    Had the metal lying around the garage as scrap from previous projects so I figured I'd fab something up. Came out alright I think. It isn't exactly rocket science making a hook lol.

    Pretty cool. I take mine back apart and put it back in the box every time. Got any more details of the bracket?

    I have been wanting to do this in our new shop thanks for the idea of how to do it! I was going to try and modify a guitar wall bracket yours seems cheaper and easier

    Even easier.... If you want to leave the backing plates on... Go to IKEA or maybe a restaurant supply store and get an industrial looking towel bar ( instead of the bar being round, it looks like a piece of flat metal going across) and then just hang them by hanging them on the bar between the backing plate and body of the polisher.. Basically will b resting on the spindle. Looks cool too... Atleast I think so!!

    It's just a small bracket I had lying around, I forgot where or when I got it. And then I welded to the sides (2) 1"x 6" pieces of flat bar that I had leftover from my truck's step rails kit. I used a couple of heavy duty drywall anchors. I also wrapped each piece of flat bar with electrical tape to keep from scuffing up the PC.

    that's a great idea too, especially if you have more than one machine polisher.

    Very cool. I took a few pieces of wood and put a "v" notch in them and can hang my polishers by the backing plates. Works great, and didn't cost me anything since I had the wood just laying around.
