That looks awesome! I probably would have used nails rather than glue and pins to hold the discs onto the clips because glue is kinda messy lol, still looks great though.

Perhaps instead of attaching the clips and base directly to the wall with epoxy and screws, screw them to a 1x4x3 piece of pine. You can paint the board black and it will act like a plaque for your sabers. Plus you would only have to attach it to the wall with one screw instead of two, less repair work in the future.  Wink

I like it.  Except for a bit of the clip around the blade it doesn't hardly look like there is anything holding the sabers.  What did you use for the cups?

I felt a great disturbance in the force as if millions of nerds cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Integrity can accommodate the inadvertent error and the honest difference of opinion; it cannot accommodate deceit or subordination of principle.

The piece that the pommel sits in almost looks like the protector caps you would put on the ends of dinning room table legs to protect your floor from getting scratched up.

What are those clips you used? I love this idea and am trying to make my own but can't figure out what those clips are.

They look like clips that you would anchor to a wall and hang brooms and mops from.
