As a musician, I will say that you should definitely do as you said you might - add taller rubber feet to the bottom and wrap leather around the wooden dowels at the bottom so the finish doesn't scratch on the wood. Also, small straps to your neck holders so that if you do happen to bump your stand or any guitar in it, they wont accidentally fall out. It will also allow you to pick the stand up and move everything together for cleaning or re-arranging purposes. Though, taking out the guitars is still recommended. Ha ha!
Good suggestions. Another reason for raising it further off the floor is to allow for guitars with endpin jacks (electro acoustics), especially when you forget to pull the plug out...
Great video. I just " discovered" your channel last night. Binged watched your videos for about 8 hours. The timing is perfect. Now that I have a lot of free time, I'm converting my 12x16 shed into a proper but small workshop. I added heat, insulation and better lighting. I have most of the basics as far as tools. I'm still trying to find a layout that works for me. Regardless, this will probably be my first project when I figure it out. Thanks for the great content.
I'm building one of these myself and the whole time I'm watching this I'm thinking "Why not use felt?" But then I realize he is doing a high quality custom build so of course why not leather... I am putting mine on casters as well so I can roll it around if necessary. Mine is not nearly as pretty as his but I would not call myself an accomplished woodworker so I'm proud of what I have accomplished so far.
I agree. Surely leather dye (or any dye) is likely to leach into some wood finishes, particularly wax and cellulose lacquer. I guess undyed leather would be good, though.
You just solved something I’ve been mentally trying to capture for a while - making a rack that’s expandable and reconfigurable in case your guitar collection changes. As someone with lots of guitars but who also loves trading and getting new ones, I appreciate not having to make a new rack every few years! Great job!
one trick that I've used for "making" threads in the end of extruded alluminum instead of bruteforcing the screw in it like you did, I take a steel screw that I "sacrifice" and make one or two groves in the threads to help it cut the alluminium... works a charm
@@austinwessels yes, but if you think a bit at the problem that bob has, which is to seat the tap correctly in the hole, it's from my experience due to the flutes of the tap being too big. by making the flute smaller it's easier to seat. but, yes it's a custom tap
I was about to suggest the same exact thing. Depending on the size (diameter) of the screw, you may even want to go for three or four. That helps evacuating the material (in this case aluminium) you are taking away.
@@christobacon1 No expert, but I've seen metal workers put their taps into drill presses and clamp the work piece perpendicular, then turn the chuck by hand as they apply downward pressure using the press lever. That way everything is held exactly where it should be and the tap moves as linearly without a jig or just eyeballing it.
This is actually amazingly timed. Funnily enough BOTH of us have been trying to get back into guitar as a hobby. Unfortunately due to recent events, I can't even go out to buy a second guitar or even stands! This is wonderful!
This is just what I'll be needing when I go back to college in the fall. I have 2 acoustic guitars, an electric guitar, and a bass guitar- alongside two guitar builds from kits and bought parts in the making, and possibly another electric guitar coming in a month. Chances are one of the builds will never truly be finished because I want to do a somewhat rare, crazy wiring job with little knowledge/experience of wiring.
@@calinguga If you can help, or at the least link me some tutorials to better understand guitar wiring, that'll be absolutely amazing! The setup is inspired by this two-piece band, Local H, where the lead guitarist puts a single p-bass pickup at an angle under the EA strings, and wires it up to its own volume knob and a second output jack, then plays that through an octave pedal for an emulated bass sound. I'm thinking of taking it a step further having two pickups, the p-bass pickup under EA and a single coil at the neck position, both on a 3-way switch so it can go from just "2 string emulated bass" to 6 string. While all that's going on, I'd still have a single-coil bridge pick-up wired to volume/tone and its own output jack. My dad and I built a strat-styled body from basswood, so we can still route it out as needed, and we'll be making a custom pickguard. I haven't yet learned enough about wiring to feel confident figuring it out myself.
What a great use of alum extrusion. Really cool design and I love the simplicity of the wood holders. I only have one guitar, but definitely have learned something and will use it for other applications. Of course it's easy to give ideas after watching this, but for anyone interested, I think it would be cool to have a small tenon in the back of the holders to keep it in line with the extrusion. I also think just cutting the cross hatch but leaving the leather on like a flap would "conceal" the screw head. Thanks ILMTS team!
Bob and Josh's Excellent Adventure! \m/ I might actually need one of those soon, just got myself a new guitar so will need to seriously think about storage, especially once my kit is finally built
Thanks for the great video. I built a similar stand but entirely out of 1" square tube steel. I then used silicon weather stripping as cushion for the guitars. It works great and has not harmed the finish. It was really inexpensive as the steel was scrap from a different project. I appreciate the great quality of your videos.
Awesome build Bob! I only have one Acoustic guitar that I made 5 yrs ago & still can't play. So, even though I'll never need a guitar rack like that, I still appreciate & enjoyed seeing how you built it.....👍👍🎸🎸
I remember Bob saying his grandad had a *lot* of bass wood when he moved in... you really weren't kidding, it's been the go to solid wood for years now!
Hey Bob! I'd recommend getting a larger blade for your band saw for ripping wood down and do it before planing the whole thing (just plane your reference edge). You'll end up with less loss of wood.
A few years ago, I went through a guitar stand design phase that was more frustrating than productive. I did how ever, come up with a prototype but left it at that. It's a simple enough design for multiple guitars. I built a rectangle with scrape cabinet drawers from a kitchen remodel I did . I removed the bottom or the floor of the drawer and the front drawer face and handle. I had some other scrape kitchen chairs that I used the back support ribs and arms. Anyway to make a long story short, I filled the rectangle with slats to separate each guitar. It fits four they sit in a slot and lean back slightly. No other support just the bottom portion of the guitar is in contact with a slat (for lack of a better word) in front and in back and the side rails. Getting the height adjusted so the guitars wouldn't bottom out was the most time consuming and difficult part of the build. Great to see a video on guitar stands. I had a similar one like yours but needed a portable folding type that wouldn't take up room in the van and end up in the dumpster after it got destroyed from the other equipment smashing it. Thank you, be safe, love and light to all...
Hey Bob, Another way to get the lap joints straight and flat would be to hog them out with a hand router with a little clean up from a chisel. I know it’s not the focus of the piece but it may be a nice alternative to the band saw and disc sander. Finished product looks great. Love the channel!
BOB I'm REALLY INSPIRED by your channel , it is AMAZING!!! thank you and your team for having this great channel. It keeps me going to make stuff and to share my talents. I'm so EXCITED that my channel will become like yours and to be an INSPIRATION to others. thank you and GOD BLESS!!! :)
I like to make stuff to :) Ramil you will become an inspiration too!! just keep on going!! God bless you more!! by the way I also Subscribe to your channel Amazing content :)
Love watching every video, but i would love to see you use more of your tools, i know using the CNC may alienate some, but the holders would have been a great example of where a quick repeatable cut makes sense. Thanks for keeping us all entertained through these tough times!
I highly recommend using an L shaped allen key or even one with an end specifically for higher torque needs. We use them all the time in the bike industry and you'd be surprised how much simpler it is to use it in the orientation with a longer lever arm. Might make the thread cutting a little easier on the arms. I'm sure most of you know that, just thought I'd put it out there for those who don't know.
Cool process. I really like how you can adjust where they sit. That's neat! When you were cutting the rubber feat down I was like, "Noooo! You'll probably need that space." ha ha. Oh well, like you said, you can swap them out pretty easily. Great video!
Awesome video! I would recommend adding a piece of material or foam to the bottom rods where the guitars rest. Over time, using those rods as an anchor to turn the guitars will eventually scratch the finish off them. Cool build though, I think it’s time to. For me to make on for myself!
I Like To Make Stuff Hi bob I’m a really big fan of the Chanel and I am trying to learn woodworking only at my age of 11and your so inspirational to me and I get a lot of ideas from you so thanks you and I hope your doing well on quarantine and I wish you the best
I was thinking about making the feet taller and wrapping the dowels for looks and to protect the guitars finish....and then you said that is what you would change ! It seems you thought of everything for a nice. versatile stand that can be added to if necessary ! Nice job for a great design. Thanks for sharing this video.
Cool project and one I'm likely to build for my son's guitars. One suggestion. Though its a bit of a pain, installing a dado blade in your table saw and using it for the half laps will result in a much better outcome than using the bandsaw and chisels. And as for the adjustable neck pieces, I'll be finding a way to accomplish those with a router template to insure complete uniformity.
Hi you said you didn't have the right size tap what you could try is take a bolt the same size your going to be using and cut two vertical groove's it should act like a tap with relatively soft material. Love all the videos you have given me load's ideas and solved lot of my projects
Cherry may burn easily, but it smells pretty sweet when it does. Also, just before you mentioned using the forstner bit, I was thinking he should drill that out with a hole cutter to make them uniform. Good stuff as always Bob!
My wood stock has depleted with all this time off but I can order some. I have about 5-6 guitars sitting in cases and I think you have inspired me to bust them out 🤘
Couple tricks, you can get drop in tee nuts for extruded aluminum which allow you to add them after you have everything put together. You'd be surprised at all of the varieties of tee nuts. Also, for feet, you can use elevator bolts. I forget where i picked up that trick, but it has come in handy many times.
Cool video. I'd add / change 3 things: Add wheels, Add locking straps on top, and felt-covered separators between the guitars at the bottom. Plus the same concerns as below on the use of leather.
I may have put some compressed felt underneath the leather to give the guitar necks a bit more padding. Great build sir! Unfortunately I'm down to one bass guitar.
I made my own guitar rack as well, but a simpler construction design. One thing I would highly recommend is to put some sort of movable spacers on the lower dowels so the guitar bodies don't knock into each other when putting in or taking the guitars out of the rack.
made something like this about a year ago. i used a similarly sized piece of solid cherry but as a big fat base, and made the rest from copper pipe (covered in cloth where it's touching the guitars). used pipe wall mounts (the plastic clamp type) attached to pieces of wood for spacers. really like the U hangers on the rail
I've just bought myself my first guitar and all the stands out there seem expensive for what they offer, this is a great project, especially when we're all stuck indoors :)
I've been wanting to make a guitar rack for quite a while. Really like this design. Might give me a chance to play with joinery. Sad part is that I don't have any guitars. I'll have to make one of those as well.
NIce! I think, rather than use an extrusion, I'll inlay a t-track in a wood cross member at the top. Same functionality but (IMO) better aesthetic. Thanks for sharing!
You could clip out a millimeter or two more than the width of an insert off the front face of the extruded aluminum all the way at one end, so you could add or remove inserts without dismantling the entire rack. You could even leave the guitars in while you did it.
That looks nice. When is the next shop class? A suggestion for a topic, different types of wood (cherry, maple, etc) and the advantages/ disadvantages to them. Thanks!
Great idea. You should've used a router with a flush trim bit to make all of the "neck holders." This way you could've made one that was perfectly how you wanted it and used it as a template to make the other 5 exactly like it. Great job though!
That's awesome! I actually made something similar several years ago, but I didn't get the angle right. Now I need to make a double decker that holds 30 guitars....
Hey, got another thing to make, a guitar rack but, can hold flying vS and Rhoads guitars. As I mainly play those guitars but can’t find a rack to hold them!
It's great!Just one question ;why cut the rubber feet down? Some of my guitars have rather long strap bolts and in just the right place for, what I guess, would be a problem so clsse to the ground as here... The feet before shortening would have looked fine as is :) But great stand!
amazing. I am actually in need of one too, I only wish I had the tools and skills to make one for myself. I'll likely just end up buying one, though...
The angle of the neck holders might be off? i whould try to line up the angle of the aluminum with the necks, so that they can be seated "right". But also taller feet and lethar on the bars is a must:)
Evan's exact response to hearing "aluminum extrusions" 🤣👏
4:28 A wild Evan appears 👌
Haha this was perfect :D Thought if your desk build as soon as he said it 😂

Looks great but I'm concerned about the dye in the leather leaching into the finish of the guitars. What about felt as a different option?

Couple tricks, you can get drop in tee nuts for extruded aluminum which allow you to add them after you have everything put together. You'd be surprised at all of the varieties of tee nuts.

Guitars and carpentry in one place is much appreciated. I’d be interested in a video on how to make amp cabinets.

And 4:27 - Evan's reaction when he realizes he's used as a meme in Bob's video 😅
😁
That knock in beginning with the guitar was ‘painful’ 😢
Need padding 😂
"The glue on these is dry, and my beard is trimmed...." hahaha I had to go back and sure enough...
Much better than any of this flimsy store bought junk. Good job!
True!
Your videos are always so good
Thanks!
NIce! I think, rather than use an extrusion, I'll inlay a t-track in a wood cross member at the top. Same functionality but (IMO) better aesthetic. Thanks for sharing!
You could clip out a millimeter or two more than the width of an insert off the front face of the extruded aluminum all the way at one end, so you could add or remove inserts without dismantling the entire rack. You could even leave the guitars in while you did it.
True.
That looks nice. When is the next shop class? A suggestion for a topic, different types of wood (cherry, maple, etc) and the advantages/ disadvantages to them. Thanks!
Great suggestion!
Great idea. You should've used a router with a flush trim bit to make all of the "neck holders." This way you could've made one that was perfectly how you wanted it and used it as a template to make the other 5 exactly like it. Great job though!
You could have drilled holes for dowels bit higher to lift them from ground, so you don't have to add rubber feet.
Great video. Although I have only one one guitar, still loved it
Loved the Bill and Ted reference at the end!
I would LOVE for you to do a video on making a guitar!
That's awesome! I actually made something similar several years ago, but I didn't get the angle right. Now I need to make a double decker that holds 30 guitars....
Great video. Who else knew it wasn't going to be tall enough? I love his process and how he always takes us through it
I like when you create stuff it is very cool!
Thanks! Do you create stuff too?
I like how the leather and the wood meet at the top
Bob.....I would love to see you make a single guitar stand, one where the guitar hangs at the front of the stand!! This multiple one is nice too!!
That looks very nice
Hey, got another thing to make, a guitar rack but, can hold flying vS and Rhoads guitars. As I mainly play those guitars but can’t find a rack to hold them!
I love the bloopers!
Me too!
Have you thought about making a guitar display case? Stores your guitars, puts them on display as well as keeping them dust free and safe.
Super cool Bob...Awesome 😉
It's great!Just one question ;why cut the rubber feet down? Some of my guitars have rather long strap bolts and in just the right place for, what I guess, would be a problem so clsse to the ground as here... The feet before shortening would have looked fine as is :) But great stand!
1:37 That little tap animation on the pencil. I like that.
Beautiful stand for home and studio. Can you help me with a frame modification for the stage, that folds down for transport?
amazing. I am actually in need of one too, I only wish I had the tools and skills to make one for myself. I'll likely just end up buying one, though...
The angle of the neck holders might be off? i whould try to line up the angle of the aluminum with the necks, so that they can be seated "right".
But also taller feet and lethar on the bars is a must:)
