When people enter your home.
The first thing they see should say something about you.
LOL well at least the wood paneling isn’t that cheap 70’s crap you see in people’s basements. Only question now is are they safe from being knocked down by a drunken visitor stumbling? They look good brother.
Yes, 3" tapcons going through the horizontal cross beams. Bottom sword sits just above head level when seated on the bench (slightly more than 4 feet off the floor).
No drunks are permitted in the home.
Very nice setup I would say then. No drunks=No property damage. I like that, keep the drunks at the bar!
Custom rack, or is that something made commercially for sword collectors/aficionados?

I made it by hand.
So much the better. Nicely done!

Do you, by chance, wear silky button up dragon shirts? Haha… just kidding. I’ll be honest, I’m not a sword man. I am, however, a man who appreciates good workmanship. That rack is beautiful.
No, silk shirts just don’t go with my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle pajamas.
I’ve been practicing Japanese fencing since the age of 10.
I wish I would have starting something similar when I was younger. As much as I love firearms, there is something so elegant and beautiful about a well made sword. Same goes for proper handling of a sword.
just for shits, how much $ is up on the wall?
From my early youth I have always had a fascination with weaponry, and by extension the martial arts. My first firearm was a German Luger that I got when I was in the 4th grade. Problem was you couldn’t exactly play with a real firearm.
So I began to explore classic weaponry. In addition to various classical Japanese fencing disciplines, I studied Okinawan Kobujutsu (the study of what most refer to as “karate weapons” such as Bo, Sai, Nunchaku, Kama and Tonfa) and classical Chinese boxing systems with their arsenal of 18 traditional weapons. Also got into Philippine stick and knife systems to a degree.
Many decades later I have come to realize it is one of the most useful things I did with my youth.
You are looking at about $15k (perhaps 20k in a better economy) in total.
you’re a professional assassin now?
jk man…
nice rack 
I don’t see weapons, I see profoundly meaningful japanese cultural icons.
Seriously.
Then again I know a lot of japanese people, so their perspective has rubbed off on me a great deal.
What really drives me insane is when people call them “Ninja Swords” 
I cant remember a sword maker out of Oregon ? I just remember in the early 90s or so ? reading his stuff was really good
like cutting through hanging cable sharp ?
you ever know who I might be thinking of ???
always wanted to get some of his stuff !!!
I love swords took fencing in school and love Japanese swords and think they are the most elegant way to fight
seems if we only got to swords and no guns punks thinking they are tough might not go on as much 
would love to see some nice pics of them if you ever have any ?
So no one ever drinks in your home, ever? Good for you!

Since when is someone who drinks and a drunk the same thing?
Since when is drinking and getting drunk the same thing?
In an attempt to copy you, I’ve stuck multiple kitchen knives, and a fork into some styrofoam and duct taped the whole thing next to the door. 
Pics of unsheathed shiny blades please! 
All I have are some busted up khukuris and a little benchmade folder.
I was interested in taking kenjutsu classes a while back, read the Book of the Five Rings and stuff, but can’t find a good place in my area.
Sword of… doooooom!
