Ah. I see. An excellent string of dealing there, JMH.

BTW, my saber rack is actually a vertical one. Made from wood and mounted on the wall, with a cradle for each hilt. I leave my blades propped up in the corner. Wink Here's a really old picture of it, before I had enough sabers to fill it. lol




YO get us a new pic. OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN

I would say its because we're custom type guys. A lot of folks who buy the Force FX stock models just have them sit in a closet. Most just let them gather dust on a stock display stand. We're the minority who really know about sabers, how to use and store them, and, of course, where to get the good ones. You will almost never see an Ultrasaber laying untouched in a closet and forgotten. Like attracts like, I suppose.

Here's a product I found that makes mounting a Lightsaber very easy and versitile. It's a Maglite Mounting Kit. I got the one for the D cell batteries as my Maglite matched the diameter of the Yari extenstion. You may be able to use the C cell mounts for smaller diameter Lightsaber hilts out there. These are pretty inexpensive and run from $4-10 a set depending on where you can find them. I got mine through, where else, Amazon for $4.83. Here's the link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00002N9ER/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i01
 Hope this is useful to some of you guys and gals.

I also used small 1/4" id x 1/2" long nylon spacers that I painted black to move it little further away from the wall as I will be adding some claws to the hilt and the shorter 16" blade.

It's 61.25". It came with the 24" blade and I forgot to add the 16" to the order when I bought the extensions on sale. I'm hoping another sale comes up so I can buy my VA led module to put in the extension to light up the vented couplers, the 16" blade and 3 War Glaive Claws.

Thanks. It's very simple and cheap. You can mount a saber in any direction.

So last week, I decided to make some plans for a display rack. I took down some measurements and all that jazz, and came up with a very simple design for the base of the rack.

It is two pieces of black acrylic, the top piece being 1/4" shorter in length and 1/8" inch shorter in width, giving it a simple "tiered" look. The top piece also has 1 1/2" holes cut into it, spaced 3 1/2" inches apart from center to center. The bottom piece of acrylic is solid, so that the holes from the top piece act as cups to hold the sabers. The overall dimensions of this piece altogether is 24 1/4" x 2 5/8" x 1/2" (top and bottom piece both being 1/4" thick). I then planned on having 6 gussets (one between two sabers) of the underside for extra support.

To hold the blades, I purchased these from Amazon a couple days prior: http://www.amazon.com/Large-Black-Rounded-Cue-Clips/dp/B003TLC4WE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351558499&sr=8-1&keywords=large+cue+clip

They are a perfect fit for the blades!

On Friday, I took my drawing and measurements for the base to a place in Fremont, CA, called Plastic Depot. I showed them what I had, and the guy who was helping me instantly knew what I wanted. He drew up his own drawing just to make sure he had it down. He quoted me $45, and to me that is a great price! Since I was going on vacation that day, I wouldn't have been able to pick it up earlier, so I picked it up today, and this is the finished product.

[
Overall, I am VERY satisfied with it! In total, it cost me less than $60. Hope you guys enjoy it! I plan on mounting it tomorrow afternoon, as I am at work until 11 PM tonight. I will post some finished pictures after everything is mounted.

Thanks for the link!  I've been looking for some type of clip for blades for a while now.  It's finally time to migrate my sabers from the sword rack to the wall.

No problem! Those clips are awesome. They are the perfect size, and they aren't super tight. The blades clip in very easily, but they definitely won't fall out.

I only have a single saber but wanted it displayed on my wall like my other weapons, so I designed a wall shield/plaque for my saber  Grin
