"BEAM" Sword Holder for a Jungle-themed Sword Basket Routine.Originally created for Dan Bowen of Illusion FX Entertainment. To fit the Client's theme, five aluminum Machetes of the proper size were created and we altered the lid of his basket so they would fit.  Stained wooden handles and antiqued blades complete the effect.

Carved details and airbrushed paint add texture to the beam, giving an ancient and weathered look.

One end of the beam opens and the five machetes fit inside, protecting them during transport.  Note the recessed casters underneath so the beam can be easily moved around.

...and it looks GREAT onstage!  (Not as good as the Assistant...but not bad.)
