How to make a Custom Guitar Stand / DIY Guitar Holder
Вставка

- Guitar stands are hard to find, in this video we build our own guitar holder.
It's often nice to have something that no on else has ... kind of an envy thing for many, especially when you can build it yourself such as this DIY guitar stand fabricated in they style of the Fender Stratocaster neck. The arms are meant to emulate the ends of a Strat, just a detail that's pretty rare in guitar stands. This custom made stand, as it is, will fit most guitars with the possible exception of some larger, acoustic versions and some of the more creative designed electrics ... but for most standard guitars, this stand is perfect and unique.

Awesome job. My wife asked me to make her and our teenage neighbor a guitar stand, this looks like the perfect match.
Nice. Love the detail. projects are always better when there are no plans!
+Wood By Wright I seem to be able to work ok without plans, but I still get into trouble from time to time but I guess that's when you really learn things. Thanks for the comment, you are correct ... the detail is often what makes things, seems I am slowly learning that.
this will be my next project.....Thanks for sharing!
I am just starting out in trying to make your Items and I like the way you do things.
Colin.
Great build Colin, I really like the design.
+Carl Jacobson Thanks buddy ... always great to hear from you
I just made this,. It looks great, I really likes the tuning key idea. I plan to make a few more for friends,
Very clever. I like the pegs. They look authentic.
+oldman719 Thanks ... I did struggle with what to do, but it worked out nicely
Very nice build. Thanks for sharing.
+Stamatis T Thanks for your comment
Cool project, I think dowels are a pretty cool joinery method! Thanks for sharing!
+Scrap wood City They worked well for this, fast, accurate, strong and nice hidden joints ... very good comment SWC
just what I was looking for - thanks
that was such an awesome project! Very cool, high five
Enjoyed that Colin, nice design build project that turned out perfect to display your guitar.
+Ron C Thanks buddy ...
Great job Its the little things that stand out the most to me
+Charlie Wood Thanks Charlie, yes it seems I am slowly learn the art is in the detail ... thanks buddy
mate. that looks pretty cool
Great build! I really like the small details!
+takis kail Thank you, yes ... I am finding that the smaller details are often what can set a piece apart ... trying to work on this aspect, thanks for your comment
Great video Colin! The stand turned out really great!
+The Russian Woodworker Thanks RW ... been watching your vids too, keep up the good work buddy
This is perfect. I have a Paul and a Strat so I think ill try to attempt two, both with the Strat head stock on the bottom but a Les Paul headstock on the main upright. Great, great stuff.
+Dale Moskalyk That's a great idea Dale ... maybe you will share some pics with us when it is done ... would love to see them
"well 'wooden' you know it?" lol, great vid and build, Colin!
+AngryWelshman lol ... I had to read that twice to get ... well done, and thanks for bringing smile to me today
+WoodWorkWeb haha, you're a lovely man, Colin, glad I could raise a smile. Again, great project, will have a go at a few of these when the summer comes around. Thanks again!
Damn! You are such a nice guy! I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you Sr.
You are welcome. Thanks for watching Harry.
dude! awesome! love this project!!
+Matt Diresta Thanks Matt, appreciate your comment
Excellent stand! The use of the Stratocaster headstock shape for the bottom rests is one of those odd times when "function follows form". Just a thought here... you can purchase very inexpensive, real, in-line tuners in lieu of making pegs. The string posts coming through the headstock would have added a lot of realism to the finished stand.
Excellent.
+molly Derwent Thanks Molly
pretty awesome design!
+Raul Padilla Thanks Raul, I can't take credit for the idea but it did turn out nicely
Super ! :-)
good stuff colin!-i really like how u made the k obs for the holders.makes it look like a real guitar strata neck..over all great project.
+Joe basementwoodworking Thanks Joe, yes it looks pretty cool, I think it going to end up at a friends who has some fenders
Suggesrion, nest time you want the thumb screws, buy violin ones, it will give you the same result and it will save you a bit of time, great job!
+Michel Tobon Thanks for the tip Michel, others will learn from this too
More guitar project please :)
+Berk Ç. lol .. I will see what I can do
nice design! I have gotten a boatload of ebony violin tuning pegs for cheap that would work as the guitar pegs.
+embwee Yes, great idea, someone else mentioned that too ... perfect
Hi Colin, I'm making this as a Christmas present for my grandson. One question. What is the length of the legs and the center post? Thanks and thanks for the idea!!
what are the dimensions of the legs and upright? Its cool I am going to make one ,put felt on the neck holder too.!!
Very cool. You should have played us a tune LOL
+David Bishop lol ... I am not much of guitar player, 5 string banjo in my instrument and not much of that lately either
Maybe a stand for the banjo next, then ya can play us a little.
do you have plans for this stand i didn`t see it in the article
Some of the felt in the neck saddle might be good too?
+Tom Pritchard ... yes, I added that after ... good catch Tom
Nice job Colin. What kind of bit did you use in the router to match the hard board template?
+krn14242 That is called a patterning bit where basically the bearing is near the shank rather than a trim bit where the bearing is at the bottom end of the bit.
now i have to make one..
+sk8ergangsta2003 lol ... love to see some pics of your version of this
Prezado senhor, saudações fraternais; seus vídeos são excelentes, parabéns.
what do you call this device that you use to make holes / where to buy? grateful for the answer ...
I believe it is called the DowelMax. www.dowelmax.com
+Michael Dean Was wondering that too, thanks.
+Michael Dean Thanks buddy for helping out ... appreciate it
I need some advice. For school I am building a chair as a project but I want the rear legs to be partially round, what i mean is that the under half is square but the upper half goes from square in the middle to fully round on the top. what is the best way to do this? I thought about a jig to round it over with a router and do the rest with hand tools.
+wdfwgagyfgagyga Well congrats for making a chair, these are among the more difficult things to make but it will be an excellent project for you and you will learn a lot. There are a couple of ways to do what you want, you could put the legs on a lathe and just turn the upper parts round, or as you have suggested, make a jig and use a router with a roundover bit.
The problem with the router solution is that it can be hard to get a tapered round leg that way which I have a hunch you may be wanting. If you are wanting a tapered roundover and you do not have a lathe, the next step will be to slightly taper the upper parts of the legs while they are still square, THEN use the roundover bit.
Hope this helps ... would love to see some pics of your chair when it is done :)
Thank you this is realy helpfull! I hope I wont forget to send some fotos :)
