    DIY wall mount polisher holder

    I had been trying to figure out how I wanted to mount my polishers to the wall for easier storage. After seeing a thread on the sister site I got some inspiration and finally had time to put it together.

    Total cost $0, since I had everything lying around from re-arranging the garage recently, but it's probably $20 of material if you had to buy everything.. Total time was 30 minutes, but having all the tools handy helped a lot.

    I angled some 2x4s as spacer for the backside such that the polishers will hang at an angle to reduce stress on the spindles and housings, it's a 30 degree angle. Need to make sure you have enough space to slide the polishers in from the top. For me, that meant the measurement on the top chord of the top spacer was 4", everything else was based off that measurement and the 30 degree angle. That MDF is 36" long which fit 5 polishers, guessing you could squeeze another 2 on there if it was 48".

    The load is really carried by the top spacers, the bottom ones are there as kickers to resist overturning.

    I pre-drilled the screw holes at an angle to mount to the wall framing. Notched out the MDF using a jigsaw and a small mixing bucket as a template.

    I may add some hooks on the underside to hold cords and give it a cleaner look.

    Re: DIY wall mount polisher holder

    That's a nice set up but I would have taken it onev step further and mounted some kind of hooks along side each buffer at the top and bottom to wrap the cords more neatly. JMHO. Oh didn't see you were going to put hooks on the bottom. Sorry.
