When I 1st moved in, this board was in the old garage. I had/have no idea what it was used for.
I thought maybe a basketball backboard but there were no holes for which to mount a rim.
Anyway, for whatever reason, I decided to keep it.
a friend in WV, mounted his racks on a piece of plywood & hung it in his garage. I decided to
do the same with mine by using the “backboard.”
bolts used to mount the racks away from the wall. The top & bottom 2”x4” were attached with
4 8x11/2” screws & the 2 end pieces by 6 screws. I used 2 ¼”x 3 ¾” lag eye screws to hold the
hanging wire which is ¼” power cable from my old barn. I used U-clamps to hold the wire together.
dark brown.
For various reasons, the project was put on hold but, due to the Covid-19 quarantine, I have restarted
working on the rack board. I got all the holes drilled in the skull caps & the 2 skulls, on 04/08/2020.
The next day, I boiled 3 of the skull caps that still had hair on them & got them cleaned up.
attach the racks to the board. I used my hand-held grinder to cut off the bolts that were too long but
the wheel broke & I had to finish with a hacksaw which was a big PIA.
I have been thinking about painting the skull caps white but leaving the full skulls natural. What do all
ya’ll think, white or natural?
