Pipe display wall clips?

[nathaniel]

Anyone know where to get some of those clips that tobacconist displays often use to mount pipes on? Im currently making a little shelf for my excess of opened jars and would like to mount some of my pipes on the sides of it. Those clippy clips look awesome but im not sure where to get them. The little cabinet door clips at the hardware store seem to not open enough to hold a pipe.

There’s some information here from an old thread I started:

Which of These Racks is Better for the Pipes? :: Pipes Accessories

I think both of these are neat takes on pipe racks and want to build one but I want to make sure the pipes are not stressed as they sit on the rack. Which do you think would be less stress on the pipes or are they both fine? Option A: Option B: If you think it's option B, do you know...

I also contacted BriarWorks (whose display is pictured in Option B) and they said that they haven't been able to get more of the exact clips that they used on that display.

What about three little dowels fixed into the backboard? Two under the bowl and the third under the stem. If they're the same colour as the background they'll be barely visible.

These might be just the trick. Smoking pipes sells them! One of my local pipe shops has hundreds of pipes on these.

I bought one of these and they work but I don’t find it that attractive.

D-ring heavy picture frame brackets work for me.

Yes please. I have an old oak hall unit which I want to convert into a pipe cabinet. I'd like to have the pipes displayed side-on behind glass, so I'd be interested to know what the OP comes up with.

That's very much along the lines of what I was thinking, but with the three arms replaced with small wooden pegs or metal pins so they're even less visible, and can be adjusted to suit each pipe so they all sit at more or less the same angle. .

Found these clear acrylic clips that are meant for holding tube bulbs. Not sure how we’ll they’d work:

Also found these which look close to what BriarWorks used on their wall though these are plastic where’s BW looks as if they might have been rubber or rubber coated:

The Danish Pipe Shop sells them.

Take a look at copper 2 hole bands from the plumbing supply house, or your local big box store. They screw into anything your screws will bite into. Set it at an angle if you want. They come in stainless steel and plastic as well, but don't look as snazzy as copper in my opinion.

If you're looking for something more utilitarian, in that same section of the hardware store, probably the same aisle, are tube talons. These are a talon or claw shape with a little nail you tap in. They're not super strong, but I would feel confident they'll hold the weight of a good pipe.
