I think the sabers round shape & weight, would make it not work. & as they would move they would probably scratch too.
How do you display your lightsabers?

Most saber materials aren't magnetic. Aluminum, nickle, delrin, etc.
Steels are, not sure about brass.

I liked the wine rack ideas. I'm thinking of doing that for blasters. But i may do it myself. I figure some 1 X 1 1/2 oak boards and a nice stain would work really well. Just gotta find some hooks.

I am so glad I found this thread. Needed some inspiration.
I am currently bouncing between 3 ideas:
- Simple 12", thin floating shelves, vertically stacked with 1 hilt each. Downside is a lot of holes in one wall.
- An IKEA Hemnes, narrow model, with one hilt per shelf. Downside is solid sides and back, so you can't see them as well.
- 3D printing some floating hangers. Downside is holes in one wall, plus uneven weight distribution of each hilt.
I'll post some pics as I make progress. In the meantime, this looks awesome! They're on IKEA's site still, too, for about $13 each! Says it would be about 10 bucks to ship a handful of them.

Bringing this back up cause I came across some acrylic risers from the container store that worked pretty well as display stands.
A bit of use with the dremel and there you have it. Not bad for less then $10.
Here's the link, http://www.containerstore.com/s/acrylic-risers/d?productId=10019504&q=Acrylic riser
got the smallest and the next size up

Great find!
Awesome set up! Is that a Lego lightsaber up top??
Yup... there was a run a few months ago...
May be another if you keep your eyes open in the junkyard.
Man I'm going to miss building up this display (Selling my house and moving back to the city)
This is the other side of the room... had so many plans... the Bar was to be "Bar 2-D2"... I have all these prints being framed... Was building a Han in Carbonite...
:cry
Oh man sorry to hear that! I hope you can have another man cave when you move.

Here's my current set up. Just some Pastor Jedi stands doing a 3 ANH, 2 ESB, 1 RotJ. I'll be moving in about a year or so, so it's temporary...again lol. I really like this book shelf but as it is permanently built on the wall, I will be finding a new way to display my stuff.
Group shot.
A WIP Heiland that needs correct # of grips and I'm "working " on the clamp to update it and my RE Obj-Wan.
MR Vader, my ESB graflex with original blast tech kit.
Luke v2, awaiting slothfurnace card arrival and Roy's next batch of levers.

Here's the bar tender... Beer2-D2
I'm guessing not... heh. I currently live in the burbs (moved here just over a year ago) but realized very quickly my family is more of a city family. I loved the space... had so many plans, but the space is useless if the family is unhappy. So tiny downtown apartment it is. Going to get my friend to build me a wall cabinet that houses the sabers... some sort of shelf for helmets and blasters, and put Han in Carbonite away til I have a place to hang it...
Put Han on the fridge!
No kidding, I hope you'll find happiness back in the city. I'm a city person myself, couldn't survive in a village. But I have my own work/design studio (& WannaWanga HQ) which slowly turns into a SW exhibition [emoji1]
