  When do you start leaving a hat on the rear parcel shelf of your car?

  Thanks for the inspiration, I think I'll find a cheap over-the-door set of coat hooks with a wooden base to which I can fit a couple of guitar-specific hangers to.

  Cheap is relative, but these look good:

  Good point, but it seems they've been in place for decades and have had heavy mirrors hung off them. They were probably fitted by someone who knows what they were doing.
  The walls probably aren't as bad as I make out - I'm also rubbish with a drill and end up messing up things like this...

  I've got a hack in mind that I want to do, it's not bike related. I'm trying to find a way to hang my guitars without drilling into my walls, which seem to be made of crumbly cheese. We have picture rails and so I'd like to make something like this.

  

  In terms of the metal bracket, what sort of terms should I be searching for?

  I'm after another one (or 2) of these. Bonus points if it has a go-pro mount too :)
  Even more bonus points if there are any that mount to the left of the stem.

  Would need posting pls (uk)

  Going to have to be getting up early to sweettalk the dustmen or a trip to the tip it looks like.

  Ask in the Bin Thread for tips.

  Buying a few beds and wardrobes and the like has left me with enough cardboard that it will take about a month to get rid of it in the recycling bin and they don't collect stuff that you just leave out.

  Is there an allotment local to you? I use big sheets of wet cardboard as weed suppressant. Someone may take them all off your hands.
