Welding helmet storage

[BigMike782]

Yes, I admit I have a sickness or fetish for welding helmets. I have about 12 different welding helmets, some I use all the time, some I use seldom, some I have because they’re cool(Huntsman 411P with a vintage Harris gold lens).
I need a way to store these helmets without hanging them over a cylinder or some such. I do not want to put them in drawers or cabinets.
Any ideas?

Mannequins with welding helmets?

I looked at those(foam heads at Hobby Lobby) but they were like 30.00 each.

I use motorcycle helmets bags

I only have one helmet, but I keep it in an antique barrister book case with glass doors. I got it for free on CL and it does a good job of keeping it clean when not being used.

Plus $7 delivery, but many other options available.
Looks like they have a 19" size that might be good for a welding helmet.
(Maybe use this as an idea and weld up your own version?)

1 old t-shirt, 1 boot lace. Drawstring bag for helmet.

Sew each arm shut, sew neck shut. Fold the bottom about 1 inch over the bootlace, making a tunnel for the boot lace.
Sew around the bottom, make the tunnel but don't sew the boot lace. Leave about 1/2" unsewn, ends stick out, tie ends of boot lace together. Takes me about 5 min tops. Hang lace over the tank valve.

My Lincoln Viking came with a drawstring bag, but it's a funky shape that doesn't make much sense. Maybe it was made out of an old T-shirt?

What's wrong with a shelf?

That's where mine sit.

Screw a five gallon bucket to the wall through the bottom of it. Use a lid to keep it clean inside.

I've been in a machine shop that has a plexiglass box to store each helmet.
A different idea just popped in my head. A wall of milk crates and a tie died blanket over them. ???? WTH

Mine stays hung on my 75/25 tank which is chained to the MiG

I keep mine in a small garbage bag and seal it and put them on a shelf.
