Easy sword cases

Iain · 19th April 2015, 05:42 PM

This might be of interest for some. I have been testing out some sword case ideas recently.

These have glass doors and I have fitted LED lights inside. The stands inside are rough and not a final design.

If anyone is interested the main cases and the LEDs are all from Ikea, not very expensive and very easy to put together.

These are just a few quick pics, the glass is still a bit dirty as I just put everything together!

Hi Iain,
I don't often browse here but just came across this post. The idea is great and it would equally suit pistols, daggers and long guns. What is internal dimension of these cases?

Hi Stu,

I'm in the process of making up some clear acrylic stands and hoping to get 3-4 swords into each case.

The dimensions inside are about 120 x 35 x 18cm. Not sure if its enough for guns, but would definitely work for most swords.

Nice pics, Iain! I've already got a wood cabinet with plexiglass doors, but no lighting. Your LED lights really make a difference and I think I'll install some for my collection. Thanks for the idea!

Highly recommend it! They look nice and are very easy to fit. I just used some double sided tape.

I like these cases. I am going to have to put a couple in my studio. Very very neat idea.
