The Collection Room - 1/14/2010 10:22:59 PM    trccscott Posts: 218 Joined: 3/1/2009 Status: offline My collecton room has been coming along, and last weekend got some additional seismic protection features (aka "twine") up around some of the shelves. Sure is it cold, unfinished, and the lighting is lousy, but I don't think its too bad for not requiring much work! Attachment (1) Post #: 1

RE: The Collection Room - 1/14/2010 10:42:42 PM    trccscott Posts: 218 Joined: 3/1/2009 Status: offline I purchased a really big bag of small styrofoam pellets a awhile back at a craft store. It really makes the pyro bottles stand out, but its funny because I track the stuff everywhere! (in reply to Digswithstick) Post #: 8

If you watch for old beanbag chairs in yard sales and or other places where they may be found , grab onto one of them , they are full of the styrofoam filling . There are different kinds of filling in them as well , some look like small styrofoam bbs that really fills a bottle solid and there there are some that have shredded styrofoam in them . The shredded works well , but I think the bbs display better insde the bottle . One bean bag will fill quite a few milk bottles , and you can usually pick them up for a couple of bucks , or at least I used to get them for that around here . < Message edited by L C -- 1/14/2010 11:05:08 PM > (in reply to trccscott) Post #: 9

RE: The Collection Room - 1/15/2010 9:23:58 AM    trccscott Posts: 218 Joined: 3/1/2009 Status: offline Thanks!  And that is an Elk Rack from the early 1900's.  One of my friends at work had it in their basement above a fireplace and when the re-did the house sold it to me.  I think it makes a great addition to the room!

RE: The Collection Room - 1/15/2010 3:34:12 PM    passthebottle   Posts: 486 Joined: 1/23/2007 Status: offline What a place to go and get away from it all and let your mind relive past adventures. My wife used to wonder what I was doing in the "bottle room" for all those hours. Told her the truth, that I was holding and feeling them, rearranging them and looking at them and reading about them. She says she wishes she was made of glass so that I wpould pay that much attention to her !!!!! (in reply to TJSJHART) Post #: 15
