Hey great work there Gum!

That looks excellent, and I really like how you used on-hand materials, or kept it as inexpensive as possible.  That's the ticket. Wink

Thanks my lord Rapine. I agree, both when you are poor(like me), or you are waste conscious, repurposing stuff Lying around is the best!! Graestar- actually your setup was one of the ones I stole my idea from!! I just don’t have that kind of space at my house, or there’d be sabers everywhere!!(which may end up happening anyway!)

First off, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I can't help but wonder something and don't know where else to put this.

I've noticed that a lot of people have wall-mounted sabers. As I have far more wall-space than table space, I was wondering how to best go about setting up a wall mount for my subsequent "arsenal sabers" (the Aeon v4 is my main saber--all the others are going to be "arsenal")?

Like, I know that with guitars you never want to support it near the spot joining the neck and head-stock without having support under the body (at the "butt").

Does anyone have any suggestions for saber hanging?

Hi Naris,

Before Rapine deletes this thread may I suggest you take a look at "Shoreline Marine Kayak Paddle Clips". They are used to clip paddles to canoes and kayaks and are available from Amazon and most outdoor pursuits/watersports suppliers. They are made of rubber and can stretch to accommodate a range of hilt diameters. Plus with them being rubber they won't scratch your treasured hilts.

Another possible option are 3M Command Strip Broom Hanger grips. These are the hangers that have the special "stretch adhesive strips" to attach it to the wall and a clip to hold broom handles.

Finally there are specialist made wall mounts or 3d printed mounting brackets available from online webstores.

I recently started collecting sabers and found a few of the 2-piece 3D Wall Mounts online. The bottom where the hilt sits is large enough on the ones I've ordered (a little too large IMO), and the snap/slide clip at the top fits perfect.

They are pretty easy to put into the wall, they come with anchors that you can use so that the screws for the mount pieces so that they stay safely in the wall... I used my impact gun (electric screw driver) for one, then realized you can honestly just screw them in with a regular screw driver, some patience, and accuracy.

I've started to mount them around my room in different places, currently I have 2 mounted.. I plan on mounting my other 2 on another wall in this room. Honestly, they are a little expensive if you ask me.. but depends where you find them I suppose.

Here's a picture of the 1st two I mounted, I got tired of flicking the light switch early in the morning as the ceiling fan's light is bright and hurts my eyes when I wake up... so sometimes I just pop on my Apprentice in Consular Green (right) as it has no sound, my Dominix is Lite Sound but still too loud as it would wake the house up hehe.

That's a really good idea, DBTD!  I've been looking at sword racks myself.

This is just fantastic looking man! Excellent work! Really creative to make a covertec-style mount that is integrated!! I love that there are no visible screws or hardware - did you use wood glue/biscuits to hold everything together?

My best display on a budget idea was really simple to do. I’m not sure if this one has been posted yet but I have been using 3m command strip broom holders that just stick on the wall. I figured since a blade is about the same diameter as a broom handle it would work and I’m really happy with it so far.





At some point they may need a little custom paint to may them look like they came from a galaxy far far away.

Good stuff, dwolf.  what's the weight limit on those broom stick holders that you're using? The one I'm using is 12 LBs
