Spice Samurai: Wall mounted sword display rack

I wanted to put my bokken somewhere on the wall. I started looking at a BEKVÄM rack I already had on the wall and inspiration for a wall mounted sword display struck.

The rest was pretty easy, since I have a few unopened BEKVÄM spice racks.

Materials:
bekvam spice rack
  • BEKVÄM Spice Rack
  • Drill with wood drill bit
  • Hand Saw
  • 2 screws for the sides
  • Sandpaper
  • Some wood lacquer
  • 2 Screws and wall anchors

So, this is pretty straight forward. Removed the front “stick”. Also removed the support hardware at the back.

I traced the shape of my bokken on one of the side pieces, cut and sanded pretty then copied to the other one.

One of the screws was replaced by a shorter one (now, the top one, you can see the hole). The actual cutting could have been a lot neater, but I don’t have a router. But a lot of sanding did the trick.

Drilled 2 holes for the screws to fix to the wall, they just go through.
After some invisible lacquer, it’s just a matter of putting it to the wall like in the pictures.

So cheap and simple. I would think it will work with most swords, just adjusting the shape of the sides.

Taking into account that all was done with stuff that I always seem to have around the house, it was pretty cheap.

Hackers Help: How to attach headboard to ESPEVÄR mattress base?

I’m trying to figure out if a headboard can be attached to an Espevar Mattress Base , and how to accomplish that. I’m looking at a standard metal headboard (because I just prefer the look of curved metal to what IKEA offers) and am not interested in a slat base with just a mattress on top, and a wall mounted headboard is not an option due to renting. Thanks for any help! ~ Amy *** Hi Amy I’ve not seen the ESPEVÄR in person but I believe it is possible to attach a headboard to it. From the website, the ESPEVÄR looks like a regular wooden slatted mattress base under a bed base slipover. As to how to attach it, that will depend on the fittings on the metal headboard. So you will just need to get the right hardware to secure the metal headboard to the wooden frame. And make some small openings on the slipcover to let the fixtures to go through.
