Default Mounting lenses upside down, the result

In january I posted about my idea to mount lenses upside down on shelves:

Sandman
Mounting lenses upside down
01/05/2016

"So, strange subject line aside - I'm looking for a way to
store my lenses, and I've been thinking about wall-mounting
them. I think it actually might look quite cool."

And I thought I'd share the end result:

I bought some 40+ Nikon rear lens caps and some 20+ sony lens caps, and used
polyurethane glue to fix them to the underside after routing some round
"pockets" for them so they're inset in the wood. The glue is super strong and I
couldn't pry one off no matter how hard I tried.

I'm really pleased with the end result!

Hopefully, the one that is right-side-up!

I still think you're crazy. I understand that even if they do fall,
they don't necessarily fall far, but still. And glue deteriorates.
Strong today, mush tomorrow. You'll be lying in bed when you hear the
first one fall. Consider that a cry for help for the others.

Polyurethane glue creates a bond that is stronger than both the wood and the
plastic, though.

Good for you! Way cool... I just might steal the idea, however think
that I would use a glass door book cabinet as a base for the project.
Because of the dust. And I would put a look on it...

This is a Goog translation of some of the comments jonas got on the
