Hi

I'm looking for a display tower (velcro receptive) for my moulding chevrons.
Any ideas the best place to go.

Don't know if they are the best place to go but at the spring fair Selwyn had a good stand with all sorts of display options. They looked really well made, not sure about cost as we didn't get into the detail.

Hi Michelle.

I contacted them today but the cheapest they do (3 sided) £422 Inc. Vat.

Seems a lot to me but thanks anyway.

Have you considered making your own? Cover it in this stuff

Wessex do one -- I think it's 5-sided and is three-hundred-and-something pounds + VAT.

I managed to buy one in v good condition on eBay for about £50 so it's always worth keeping a look-out.

They are very easy to make.

we made ours - 3 sided spinners originally with velcro, but that became a complete mess after a few months, so went over to the LION chevron hanging kits.

Worked out about £30 per spinner...

Check through old threads, there are quite a few examples.

Hi Keith

I have a Nielsen 8 sided tower with velcro strips. It is currently in storage due to rearranging the workshop, I still use one. I bought it new and it hasn't been used that much and is in as new condition. I'm in south London just off the M25. If you are interested let me know.

I am also using a 4 posted tower with 3 sides per post also by Nielsen if that is better for you I could swap it for the tower in storage.

David.

I originally went for the velcro fabric but realised it would not last very long. I used the fabric to cover strips of mdf and secured with tapestry tape. Lion hanger strips are fixed to the front and the whole thing hangs happily from the picture rail. One day I may take this one step further and store more chevrons on boards sideways on. Less space.
