We Created a Customizable Sword Stand with Apex Magnets
At Apex Magnets, we do more than help you find the right magnets for your needs—we also like to play around with our products to find fun and effective ways to use magnets in our everyday lives. Our most recent project? A customizable sword stand. By creating a sword stand that we can change to fit our needs, we’ve found a way to safely store swords in one location while eliminating the need to buy new stands when the sword collection grows. Here’s how we did it:
What you’ll need:
- 1/2”x1/8” countersink rings (2 magnets per block)
- Sturdier wood (such as maple)
- 2 metal strips—these will serve as the tracks for the magnets in the blocks
- Screws & Nails
- Wood glue
- Assemble the base, feet, and sides
- Assemble the top w/ steel strips
- Create spacing blocks
