Trying to get a few of these - I have a V2 initiate, a V3 liberator, and what i think is either a v3 initiate or an aeon from grab bag - which size option should i use from that amazon link? the options are 2 and 24 and i just dont know which to use

The "D" cell size should fit any of the V3 sabers.  I think the "C" cell size would work better for the V2 initiate.

As for telling your grab bag - look at the choke points. If there is a ring in each, its an Aeon.  If the center of the choke point is a groove, its an Initiate.  :-)

I feel like this design was stolen from a rack for pool cues. Is that where you got it from?

I would love to hang my hilts like this. Unfortunately the wifey would veto that. Nice work on the mounts!

All hail the OP for the fantastic mag-lite clamp idea.  I'm posting these to confirm that for the Dark Initiate LE V4 and the Initiate V2, the C-Cell size of clamp is ideal.  It only required one clamp apiece.  These are of my entryway, which means (with framed comic-con pics on the opposite side) folks now have to run the gauntlet of our nerddom and geekery to enter our house.

Great  idea now  I just have to get one for my dream sabers I'm thinking of getting  . 

[jedi Kai-gon]

very nice design, I love that it is small and doesn't detract from the look of the sabers.

Hey All,

Thank you all for your great ideas for these saber mounts, Your ideas have been awesome and got me into my garage to see what I had to make my own wall mount.  I have 5 sabers just from my 1st order  and knew that they needed a home.

I walked in the garage and lo and behold I found some scrap wood just laying around.  I happened to have a decent piece of a 1"x3" and some L-brackets.

I headed to Lowes and get a 1 1/8" arbored hole saw drill bit and some hammered metal black spray paint.  I spaced the holes about 3" apart and drilled 9 holes into the piece of wood I had.  I screwed on the L-brackets and painted the mount.  All in all, it took me about 2 hours to put it all together and paint it. 

When it was dry and ready to mount I stuck it in my little closet under the stairs and took a few photos. 

So all in all my little project cost me $18.00.  $11.00 for the drill bit and $7.00 for the spray paint.  The scrap pieces of wood I actually got from Lowes at an earlier date for free. I asked them if they had scrap wood that they were going to trash and they gave me quite a bit of scrap wood, so it doesn't hurt to ask them (you might get lucky).

I really didn't spend a lot of time putting it together, but for a rough draft copy I'm pretty happy.  Since Im already on the hook for at least 3 more sabers (coming soon) I know Im going to have to make a more detailed and clean product.

Below are the pics I took.  Hope this helps others to tackle their own wall mounts.

Thanks again for all the great ideas to get me motivated. Y'all are the best!!

I wish I had the problem of too many sabers! If any don't fit I could take it off your hands
