Anyway, maybe 20 years ago I mounted my Campy toolkit on drawer glides beneath a workbench, and decided the visible forward edge of the drawer glides was unsightly (I know, horrors, right?) How to hide them?

I’ve had a few buckles with broken prong. Tandy Leather (I know, right!?) sells a really awful buckle back and ring hook. It’s crap to use on a blank but I’ve been able to modify it so that it can be epoxied to the back. I use Hardman Double Bubble high peel epoxy. I get the small packs from Amazon so that I don’t lose a tube of epoxy for a single use. It works quite well.
