I've been asked this question a few times....

My approach;

Step 1/ Buy a renovator and convince the broom pilot that what your doing is a good thing. Done.

Step 2/ Bang as many nails as you like in to the walls whilst you work out your displays. Over done.

Step 3/ Finish the renovations....stop banging nails in the walls for fear of being stabbed in my sleep. May never get done.

Step 4/ Stop buying swords.....yeah right!!

Step 5/ Mount a very large or several large colour coded boards with routed edges attached to the wall. Ensure recesses are in all the right spots for the correct grade of earth magent that is to be glued in place... the other end of the magent covered in velvet and let the magnets do their job leaving the effect of floating swords....not a new idea the magnets, they are seen in use with these pages....just my preference to mounting them....Wait and see.


....thats the long term plan....
