Build me two of these. Will hold 32 small swords and underneath lots of sabres each. Not the most elegant of designs but it works, is cheap and does not fall apart. So, happy me. ,, Look mein Fuehrer! I can vok! ''.

Looks like a crash cart for antiquarians with terminal space constipation. Like the wheelies...

That's right. Here it is somewhat loaded. Still room for 10 sabres and 6 small swords. It looks like floor dwelling metal is history. Downside is I don't see what I got. Have to adjust to that for sure. New neighbourhood.

The better solution would have been to sell them to other SBG members instead ;)

You know I cannot do that Afoo. I am too nice a guy. I will not make my forum friends suffer the traumatic experience. If only you knew what I had to endure before I build the racks....sniff.

Suspend them from the ceiling like stalactites? Would really give a new meaning to the word "man cave"
Also a good way to get rid of unwanted guests....

Findlithui, do you see the wall behind my desk? All walls are like that. I do have two vertical storage racks though, smaller, so they hold 20 sabres each, depending on the size of the basket. And they made some huge mofo's in their time. In there I have still some room. What I am going to do is to get me 4 more of the wall mounted racks, like the ones I used in the racks above and screw them to the front of an empty bookcase. I sold the books as they were 19th C. anyway and use the shelves for small arms, like daggers and stuff. There I am going to store the replicas, two handers, basket hilts and all the rest. And when push comes to shove, I will try to sell the replicas, though I am not ready yet to let them go. Why am I doing this for G's sake? Why don't I go out, like any semi sane person, score me a lady, eat pancakes, grow fat and die? Balls! Afoo: like the idea. Gives a new meaning to ,, Filet Americain''.
