In this video, I make a bent-lamination guitar stand out of scraps that I had laying around the shop. Bent lamination is an easy and accessible way for even the beginner woodworker to make strong, flexible, graceful curves. You could use this technique to make all kinds of DIY projects, including furniture. Maybe a rocking chair? - Навчання та стиль
your excitement that it was not glue'd to the table is SO relatable :)
Dude, I wasn't even exaggerating that for the camera. It was awesome!
So F*ing jealous of that Jazzmaster. I'd make that deal any day!
As a guitarist and hobby woodworker this is right up my alley
Graceful design and well executed. Knowing and showing "oopsies' is important. After all, that is part of the creative process. It's how we learn. Appreciate it.
It's my pleasure!
One in the eye for the woodglue deniers! Nice build. The vinyl on the head support was an important addition - not only for protection but it also gives a pro-look to those bits of aluminium.
Keith Stewart agreed! I love aluminium, but it doesn't always have the right look for a certain project.
Rex, man that is pure art!
Good job, my first laminated project was a rocking chair. Used scrap leftovers from a deck build. I soaked 1/4 inch in water stuck them in 4 inch pvc and heated them with a heat gun. Amazing how easy they were to bend without splintering.
Oh wow, you steamed them! Very impressive. I'm not there yet.
Cool idea and execution. Also solves the problem of unique body shapes like Flying V, which never fit well in standard racks. Good job!
That is an elegant design and very well done. I know you wouldn't have intended it, but seeing that it wasn't 100% perfectly aligned but still a perfect piece helps to see. Thank you.
I think showing these mess-ups is important so long as it doesn't bog the video down or interfere with the informaiton. Ain't none of us perfect. No reason to pretend we are. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Hey Rex, I love this project. I’m curious to know if they have been any issues with the stand in the past four years. It looks great, and I’d love to make one for my guitars and ukuleles.
thank you Rex
Beautiful stand!
Awesome guitar stand Rex and very elegant too. I love the flow of the lines in the stand and your choice of wood.
Thanks a lot! I'm pleased with this one myself, although my "choice" of wood was pretty much what was laying around.
Beautiful !
Wonderful stuff
Dude this came out beautiful. seriously great work and very creative with the wedges and copper wire wrap.
You're very kind. I'm not happy with the copper wrap. Never used such a thick gauge before and it wasn't as even as I would like. Still, I like the overall effect. Thanks for the nice comment!
Very nice project Rex - really professional! Keep em coming
Glad you liked it!
I love it!
It is so beautiful. It's inspired me, I want to build a keyboard stand like this
You can totally do it. I hope I get to see it.
Very classy project, good tutorial. The copper wire kind of detracts from it. A couple of dowels would have been much nicer. IMHO
Really nice - but have to agree with this comment! If you leave the wire on, rip it off and do it again; nice, tight windings would look great!
I don't love the way the wire came out, but there are also dowels in there. Having something wrap around the structure is better insurance against splitting.
I found waterproof glue works very well, since it takes longer to cure, it has a longer open time
Nice stand, try wooden blocks on the each side of the clamps to in crease clamping strength/pressure .
Beautiful work Rex. I have yet to try any bent lamination but you made it lol relatively easy. Think I will have to give it a try sometime soon.
It really isn't hard. This was genuinely my first attempt and all my pieces came out good enough to use. Thanks for watching!

Plus you can say the alignment is custom designed for the asymmetric curves of this guitar 😊
That Jag is a beauty dude. Your one lucky guy to get that as a trade lol.
And I LOVE it. I've been playing teles for so long, I forgot how nice it is to play other instruments.
how thick were the wood laminations? looks great
Nicely done...! How long were your laminated pieces?
Wow Rex! Really gorgeous guitar stand. Are you in upstate N.Y.? We should jam sometime in the future. I am a "rock'n'roll guitarist/singer. Y biggest influence is Jerry Garcia but I play the Blues and Electric Bluegrass too.
Great build! Why did you use so many different materials? Copper brass aluminium metal pine walnut oak maple. I understand using what you have but try to keep it simple :) cheers!
Well, each material was already at or close to the size I needed. I had brass round, but not brass bar or brass wire (which I've never even seen). I used the woods that were generally already at laminate thickness. Each thing was available and appropriate to the task.
Any recommendations on using ratchet straps to form the bends? I don't have a couple of old rail road irons so I'm wondering if the straps would be viable combined with maybe some dowels in holes in the table.
I think that would work great. I was originally going to do dowels in the table.
Pre-bend the pieces and mark where you want to put in some dowels, even long screws work. Just insert the workpiece when you are ready to go.
You could just as easily clamp a block to the table as your fixed point.
So where did you get pieces of railroad track??!
In a legal location?
@@RexKrueger LOL!!!!
Where you get that copper pipe? it gots some girth. ha
Jacob BAMBAM um, it was a "leftover" at a place I used to work. The boss didn't mind... at least I think he didn't.
He never knew he had it. I must of had the same boss.
Just thinking of a way to make the bends more reliable, and workable after the fact. It's not quite a full set of forms, but for a simple curve, cut the shape into a sturdy solid piece of timber and finish it smooth, then drill out a series of holes about 20mm from the curve face, which will allow you to drop one end of a clamp into.
So long as your form is dressed, you could then run a flush cutter along the face to tidy up the edges, and by rights, you should end up with a 'straight' curve.
You're right, that would be less work than a form, but would probably reduce or eliminate the twist problem I had. Nice suggestion!!!
@@RexKrueger after I pressed the button to post, I realised afterwards that you probably couldn't run a router along it, because the clamps would be in the way, but, with the glue dry, you could probably remove most of the clamps, leaving just a few to keep it in position.
I think you could just take them all off and run a plane along the edge. That's what I did here and it was fast and easy. Still, I appreciate your thoughts!
Really cool, dude. That gives me a couple of ideas for future builds. Thanks!
Thanks! Whatever you make, post pictures!
Your excitment is contagious. Just WOW! Shared too.
Thanks for the share! That REALLY helps me out.
"I'm no expert but I've read a bunch of stuff on the internet and these days that's the same thing as being an expert" that's how it goes nowadays, and that's really bad.
For the aluminum neck arms you could have got some plastidip from a big box and dunked them.
Yeah, I thought about that, but I would have had to make a special trip to the store just for that. It is a very good idea, though. Thanks for suggesting it!
Surealistic a little bit. Aber sieht gut aus.
Cheerio from Germany.
Thanks so much!
You just put your headstock on 2 pieces of steel do you not care about your guitar? Also every shot of the finished product dose not show what the headstock is sittling on, why?
I put it on two pieces of aluminum, which I padded with vinyl.... to project the finish. Pay more attention and your comments will be less annoying.
