for stands for my display sabers, i made them up using a large scale model car display cases. i then took some basswood planks, and made them however long i needed, then cut the half circle cutouts, usually one was a lil larger than the other cutout. i drilled a couple holes in the base, and bolted the wood standup parts to the base. then layed the saber in the standup cradles i just bolted on, and slipped on the top cover.
those display cases are fairly cheap, around 10 bucks in the stores, and the basswood planks were cheap too. anybody could use plexi instead of the wood, but for sake of getting it done quicker i used the wood planks pieces.
