Level Shelf

I don't collect many things and when I do, I keep the collection small because I just don't want an overwhelming amount stuff.

While unpacking (yes, still 8 months later) some boxes last week I discovered my wind-up alarm clock collection.

I haven't seen this collection in awhile because I had put it away about a year or so before we sold our house. I decided it was time to display it again.

I took another favorite of mine that I started loosely "collecting" a few years ago, an old level, and in about five minutes I had the perfect place for my clocks.

I hung it under my large clock that hangs on the wall near the library.

I used two small hinges I had to hang the shelf, securing them to the level first and then the wall. Yes, I drilled into this old level because it is a broken old level, which to "real" collectors, make it undesirable.
