...THE FORCE shall free me


« on: September 18, 2017, 04:45:28 PM »

Finally got around to mounting my sabers up on my wall! I also have Luke and Vader's Force FX sabers (can I say that here?) and I'm trying to decide whether to mount them above and below these or on the opposite wall above my bed. Thoughts?





Went with some simple bike racks from Home Depot. Theres a few reasons I went with these over some other mounting options I've seen..

1. They're big enough to where removing and replacing the saber is quick and easy, but small enough to where it doesn't look silly.
2. The hooks wrap around the entire saber and actually point back to the wall at the end, so them rolling/slipping out is nearly impossible.
3. They're grey and match my wall fairly well.
4. This is perhaps the biggest one for me. They're rubberized which means no scratches to the hilts. I've seen a lot of people use clips or plastic mounts. With the amount I remove and replace the sabers I feel like this would result in an abundance of scratches, especially with the clips.

Been meaning to get around to doing a review of each as well but until then... Hope you enjoy!

That looks really cool, nicely done. Smiley

Yes, you can mention Force FX sabers here.  They're not combat sabers, they're toys made by Hasbro, who isn't a competitor to UltraSabers.

Cool. I have been meaning to hang a couple of my hilts up for display. If it is cool with you, I like this way the best at this current moment.

Go for it man! I agree, this is probably one of the most efficient and least damaging ways to hang a saber

I was thinking of vertical mounts originally too but I just didnt have the room. Check etsy, I saw some really solid looking vertical mounts there


So I was so pumped about how this looked that I had to run back to home depot to get two more sets of wall mounts. Heres the final product!

Nice. I need to do this to my room when we get good and moved and stuff Tongue And its okay to talk about FX's, remember Ultra Sabers used to do conversions back in the day so no harm there really. This gives me ideas though for sure. Will be nice for when I start getting display saber hilt replicas as well, wont mention any other names though so
