No compression inside the helmet. I was careful to shape the full head profile according to the inside dimensions of the helmet. Well actually only one helmet, since I used a jig saw once my template was made.
The top cross piece, I felt was supporting enough of the helmet where the weight was fairly well balanced.
As far as the plywood surfaces that contact the helmets, I sanded and rounded edges, then heavy coats of paint, so there is nothing rough touching the insides.

Nice job.

I wish a 3 rack unit was adequate. But I have way too many helmets.
Probably more than I need. But dirt bikes, snowmobiles (from my Midwestern days), ATV's, matching his/her helmets, and the Harley's helmets..... yeah, I have collected a lot. And this isn't even counting the old outdated helmets I wouldn't even wear any more. LOL
