H-Arms are easily customizable display armatures that are designed to cradle artistic objects from below. They are especially well-suited to holding small objects where one side is significantly longer than the others, such as handguns, knives, and powder horns, although their elegantly simple and customizable design means the possibilities are nearly limitless.

Bases:

All bases are 3 1/2"x7" and are 1/2 tall. They come in either semi-flat black or clear colors.

Armatures:

The armature is made of metal. The standard armature consists of one 6" central post with two 6" attached arms and two 4.5" crossbars (one per central arm). The post is made with 5/32" steel,  the arms are made with 1/8" softened steel, and the crossbars are made with 1/16" softened Brass.

*Note: Avoid putting pressure on soldered joints when bending. Also, when modifying the post, be sure to remove it from the base very carefully to minimize damage risk to the base as that specific junction can be very tight

Custom Armatures:

Sometimes a custom sized armature fulfills your needs more effectively than a standard one. You might want a larger or smaller armature, or maybe you need a stronger or more delicate upright. Whatever your needs may be, we can customize or custom build an armature for you.

Common tools for armature adjustment include:

• Needle nose pliers in a variety of sizes (for tight bends in the “arms” of the “T”)

• Large wire snippers (for trimming the arms to length)

• Large pliers, such as Linesman's Pliers (for all-purpose bending and cutting uses)

• A hacksaw (for shortening the post)

• Flat black touch-up paint (for the base or armature after modifications to them)

• Shrink Tube (to pad the artwork from the armature)

• A heat source, such as a heat gun (for use of Shrink Tube)

We carry many of these tools, which can be found on our Mount Making Supplies page.
