carrying cases?
Has anyone made carrying cases for their saber? I'm considering making one, and although I'm resourceful I'd like to know if anyone else has gone to this length? I'm thinking of making one that is a hard shell case with padding like a musical instrument.
I also thought something like a pool cue bag, or martial arts weapons bag might do for the blade.
I believe I've read in one of the threads that someone has used a rifle carrying case to trnsport their sabers.
Or a carry case for a bokken or other martial arts practice sword.

Here is the one I use. I have been able to put 9 sabers with blades and 14 sabers with out blades in it. Plus it is only $47 http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=4303558
cool..the rifle case is bigger then i"d want. I was thinking of one saber hilt myself, but for safely storing and transporting several it looks ideal. So there's no form inside of it just tight foam padding? And it all stays in place?
hehe....don't bring this through customs...gun case full of pipe bombs..lol.jk

I got a pistol carrying case from my local gun store: www.hoffgun.com
It has four layers of foam, two egg crate and two with cut outs (to mold to your equipment). I can fit 2 DL-44's and 5 or 6 (depending on style) saber hilts. and it is only a bit bigger than a boot box.
Someone over at FX-Sabers forums makes custom carrying cases for lightsabers. They are pretty sweet. Sorry I don't have a link right now but I'm sure their search function will find it for you.

You can find inexpensive pistol cases that work great.

mmm....ABS tube with end caps cut in 2 with hinges, a clasp, padding, and a handle or shoulder strap.
Thanks for sharing all the great ideas but I prefer to make stuff when ever I can and I think I'm onto something. I like the box idea but a tube case would nice too. And painted the same color as my saber.

If I may recommend, I think South-Pak, Inc. makes a carrying case that would be perfect. They have a website full of custom case options.
