Method of displaying swords

[kahnjar1]

Hi Ken,
Great idea! Question though.....how do you attach the swords to the copper "ring" to stop them falling out?

Swords in question are a khanda and a tulwar, not same shape of style but look well together
Method is quiet simple and the picture should explain the process
Basically

I got some 4 inch copper tubing, friendly plumber was doing some work in my workplace and I scrounged some off him
Cut a inch and a half section, with a jig saw and then used a power sander to make cut parallel
Then put swords in x shape I wanted and marked where they would go
Then I files out the grooves and all came together reasonably nice once I rounded the edges with some sand paper blocks
Overall took around one hour and I am quiet happy with the job

My wife is in Berlin for the week so that probably be the full extent of their duration on the sitting room wall

If anyone has another method they would like to share I would appreciate it
