► VOICEOVER TRANSCRIPT :
The first step with any bent lamination project is to create the form. I had some small scraps of plywood that I ended up using, but any sheet good would be a great option for making a form.
I laid out the shape I was looking for, with a height of about six inches and a depth of about four inches. Keep in mind that this is the profile view of the guitar hanger.
After figuring out the shape I wanted, I cut it out using a jigsaw. I stayed right on my line when cutting, since I wouldn’t be doing any shaping until all of the pieces were together.
Next, I traced the outline of the first piece onto the remaining plywood, using it as a template. My form needed to be wider than the final width of the guitar hanger, about 3 ½”, so I needed five pieces of ¾” plywood to make up this width.
After cutting out all of my pieces, I attached the pieces together using CA glue and brad nails. I made sure to keep two of the edges flushed up, to reduce the amount of sanding I had to do later. Once all of the pieces were attached, I clamped them together and let the CA glue set up for a few minutes.
Next, I shaped the form using my oscillating belt sander. I purposely made the form just wide enough so I could sand it with this sander, as it really was the perfect tool for shaping the form. You could also clamp a regular belt sander to your workbench and get a similar result.
I started with 80 grit sandpaper to roughly flatten the form and bring all of the layers even with each other, and then switched to 120 grit to refine the curves.
With the form finished, I could move on to cutting my veneers. First, I measured the outside length of the form, taking into account the curve. I needed to make sure none of my veneer layers were longer than this measurement, since I didn’t want the ends of the pieces overhanging the form and getting damaged.
For the veneer on this build, I used this two-ply Walnut veneer from Rockler. The two plys make the veneer much more pliable and less prone to cracking, making it a lot easier to work with.
I needed to cut the veneer into strips about 3 ½” wide, and I did this with an X-Acto knife and a straight edge. The veneer cut extremely cleanly using this method, although I guess a veneer saw would have been the correct tool for the job.
I cut two strips with the veneer in this orientation, and then rotated the sheet of veneer 90 degrees and cut two more strips. These alternating grain directions make the final piece much stronger, and this is how the veneer layers in plywood are oriented.
Once I had my four strips cut, I marked in 10 ½”, slightly shorter than the outside face of the bending form, and then crosscut the strips, again using my X-Acto knife. I cut all of the strips to this length.
Before the glue up, I covered the bending form with packing tape, to make sure the veneers didn’t get glued to the form.
I also arranged the veneer layers so that the grain directions alternated, and I also made sure the inside and outside faces of the hanger would end up with the Walnut veneer facing out. The second ply on this two-ply veneer isn’t Walnut, so this is super important.
Finally, it was time for the big moment, the glue up. I used strap clamps to hold the veneers in place and then added a bunch of clamps. I’m not sure why I didn’t think about it, but creating a negative form, so that I could clamp two halves of the form together around the veneers, would have worked a lot better here, but it still ended up working out fine.

This is awesome. I have 4 guitars I need to hang on a wall. I’m so glad you put the padding on it. Beautiful design.
i like the idea of this it could be used for so many other application. bike holder, coat rack, etc
I'm just in love with guitar-related builds, this is awesome !
Thanks Jeremy!
That's great work, nicely thought out. Looks great too.
Awesome job Johnny, I've actually been looking to build a guitar hanger for my son, so this was perfect timing. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Josh, that’s great!
So glad I found your tutorial cause I deff need a place to hang guitars but have always been into the way drums are made. And these last few yrs as a Sk8 shop owner making sk8board decks,last yr you couldn't find any sk8 decks. Haven't tried it yet cause of too many other skillz/projects. The guitar hangers are maybe a good start in taking baby steps to making decks or drums.
Looks sweet! Gonna go see what I can make.
I’m with you...I like how the plys look on the edge. Great idea to make more of these to get all of the guitars out of reach. Plus, they look great on the wall. Enjoyed the video!
Thanks Bruce, glad you liked it!
nice job. Looks really good
Great idea! I’m putting this on my list of things to make.
Thanks Jeff, have fun!
Awesome! That came out really cool.
Thanks
Love the project. Came out really nice!
Thanks!
Great hanger! Need one of these for my guitar... I've been thinking about making something like this for my longboard and helmet. I use veneer for bentwood rings all the time and have never used a veneer saw... I use your method and have never had an issue!
Thanks Mike! It was a super easy build, you should give it a shot!
Amazing work 🙏 gonna make it now. No question. Go shopping tomorrow
I love it.
Thanks Paul!
really cool and beautiful!
Thanks Karlos!
Awesome :) Have to keep this in my mind!
For sure!
Its lookin beautiful
Thanks!
I liked it because he's got negatives curves out of his way and also because pointer
Nice results, nice job Johnny!
Thanks!
Really came out great. I love the look of curved walnut...and don't beat yourself up, that shine really makes it classy! Thanks for sharing...it is gorgeous man!
Thanks a lot Rob!
Pretty awesome project!
Thanks!
Great idea for the hanger and the practice. It looks great! I often rub a gloss finish with a X-fine Scotchbrite pad. It cuts the gloss nicely, also a coat of paste wax might tone it down a bit.
Thanks Tom! I think I’ll do that for sure, this thing is mega glossy.
Love this GS-Mini, I've got the exact same one, Great small guitar !
Very nice Guitar hanger, great work :)
It is such a great guitar for the money. Thanks!
Great video!
Thanks!
Awesome work Johnny! 👍👊
Thanks Fred!
What a sweet build! The technique could actually be used for quite a few different things. I think these are going to look awesome on the walls! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks Tracy, you could definitely apply this technique to a ton of projects!
I dig it.
Thanks!
Good work man!!! Really needed something lyk this🤗🤗
Thanks!
Great looking guitar stand. I've been wanting to try Bent wood lamination myself
Thanks, you should, it’s super fun!
Bent lamination is so dope!! Turned out great Johnny!
Thanks Adrian!
Nice build & great hat! Cheers
Thanks!
TheraBands are excellent clamping options for those small irregular glue up applications. I use them often for applying very tight even pressure when gluing fingerboards to guitar necks. Nice job by the way! I might offer this option to customers who ask me to build guitars with laminated hardwood tops....make them a hanger that is from the same material as their guitars top!
Excellent...
Cheers...
Thanks Adam!
That looks amazing! I've got to try this to make a custom set of hangers for my saxophones (hate the commercially available metal hangers that cost way too much).
Go for it man! I’m also not a fan of the commercial guitar hanger options, hence this project
Wow, that's good.
Thanks!
Great job! Really like bend lamination work! :D
Thanks, it’s super fun!
Nice simple project 👍🏼
Thanks!
This is beautiful. I wish I had one. You, sir, are an artist. I don't understand why you don't have more subscribers.
Thanks a lot!
Price is competitive with window units--pretty nice option. Hope it can handle your summer!
Not what I was expecting but very interesting!
Thanks!
Wow. That looks great. Put my order in for a Dobro hanger!!
Thanks mama!
Nice one!
Thanks Paul!
Very nice
Thanks!
Great hanger man! Very excited now to try some of my own bent lamination projects! Wish I had loads of walnut veneered plywood to make jigs with laying around my house as well 😉
Hah, just used some little scraps from old builds. And good luck, it’s super fun!
Great video! If you get yourself a couple bicycle inner tubes and cut them into strips you could use them in place of clamps and negative forms.
That’s a great idea! I’ve got plenty of old tubes lying around.
I have my plans for the future, but I have a backup as a carpenter if it doesn't work out. I love how technical and elaborate your projects are, and how well you narrarate them. You've got a new subscriber for sure!
Thanks a lot, Travis!
Looks awesome man! I was looking for something I could make to hold up both of my guitars.
Nice, have fun building a couple!
If you use a 6×6 you could make a positive and negative form in one cut on the band saw.
That would be perfect!
Awesome..
Thanks Todd!
nice man! necessity is the mother of invention after all ::D
Thanks man!
Nice hanger, and nice axe! We should coordinate a maker guitar challenge at some point -- a bunch of guitar-related builds across a number of channels would be a ton of fun.
I'd be in for something like that!
That’d be awesome! Wonder what a GFRC guitar body would sound like?
I think someone actually made a concrete guitar for the quikrete one bag challenge a couple years ago....can't imagine it having great tone. I really want to do a guitar amp build at some point....
God I would love to watch that
I think electric guitars don’t benefit that much from the tonewood, so I’d imagine it’d still sound decent. A guitar amp has been on my list for awhile!
Nice job. Love the ideas i get watching your videos. Just curious why you chose CA glue for this as opposed to regular wood glue. Thanks!
199,651?! Awesome work brother. This project is a great intro to bent lam.
So close! And thanks man, it was a fun trial run for bigger things in the future.
Nice! I’m stealing your idea! Thanks.
I like it my brother awesome project to good job later :)
Thanks!
creative😄
Thanks!
Nice shirt! Got one just like it.
It’s a good one!
Nice build! I usually add those little soft clear plastic feet (like you'd use in the bottom of a jewelry box) so the guitar body doesn't hit the wall directly. When you remove the guitar you won't notice it on the wall at all. It protects both the wall & the guitar. Plus the guitar makes much less of a noise when you put it away.
This hanger protrudes far enough off the wall that the guitar doesn’t contact, but good tip!
exelent
That's alot of work but it is cool and beautiful.
Nice
Thanks Ronna!
Alex brought me here! Awesome channel.
Thanks man, welcome!
Now you can make a bentwood rocking chair -- for my back... ;) lol
A rocking chair is one my bucket list of builds!
I might make 2 for my 2 guitar hero guitars
That’d be great!
Looks great! Now I can turn that guitar I hardly play into wall art!
Hah, for sure!
I wish I could buy 3 of these....
You can get the leather to stretch more if you soak it in water until it's wringing wet. You will need to use a water based glue. The clamping time is a LOT longer as the wet leather greatly slows the glue drying. I've built frame drums using this technique and allowed the whole thing dry for a week. The result was good.
Good tip, thanks!
This looks really awesome man, I want to make a surf rack using this method!
Thanks, that would be super cool!
A+
Thanks Brandon!
I came here because I thought 800INR was way too expensive. Now I regret that I don't have a wood workshop.
make one that holds the guitar at the base of the body too or make a hangar that can hang the guitar at an angle for cool shaped guitars like two jackson RR v's facinng each other (if ones a lefty and the other a righty)
Come on man... that fret saw ain’t cheap! 😂 sweet build esp for someone without a ton of tools.
Hah, that specific one isn’t, but you can get them for cheap! Thanks man.
I have the same stud finder
Works pretty well!
Please make an Eames chair, that would be unreal! Not difficult or anything I'm sure...
Hah, nah, super simple DIY... 😂
Do you sell these? Love them!
Hi! Do you have the link of the pin that inspired this project? Thanks!
I really like the final hanger! Could you please tell me what are you using for cleaning the sanding paper (in between 4:56 and 4:57). Thanks a lot and looking forward to your new videos!
Thanks! It’s called a crepe stick, they work great.
Eames chair, huh? So...not to be presumptious, but that would be a pretty great "second Guild instructor build" ;) Love the guitar hanger, by the way!
That would be cool, but that would assume I’d be able to do it, hah! We shall see... 😁
Nice hanger, Johnny. I wondering if soaking the leather would have helped form it without cutting it possible?
Thanks man! And that’s definitely an interesting idea, probably would have worked.
Beautiful job. I don't have a guitar but have some other items I'd love to hang. What do you think the weight limit would be for this type of project? I was thinking of whether a bicycle could hang on this.
Thanks David! I think a bike would definitely work, you'd probably want to make it thicker though since it'd be cantilevered off the wall a good bit.
This is a really cool idea, thanks for sharing! Would you say that nailing each piece of plywood together for the form is necessary? I don't have a nail gun and am hoping that CA or super glue will be enough. Thanks!
Definitely not necessary, just helps to keep them from slipping around. The glue is super strong!
What drill bit did u use have you got a link
I need 3 things to make this then you pull out the tools...:P really neat tho=)
These are fantastic. How many hangers can you get out of each sheet of veneer?
Thanks! I’d say at least 2-3, depending on the thickness.
Rockler is great just dam expensive
Did you use walnut veneered ply for your form? How lavish!
Hah, just some small scraps!
*Give'em the clamps!*
Clamp champ!
Now make it couch size.
😂
Please built a eames chair using memory foam.
Nice build brother! Could you let me know what mat you’re doing your glue up on? Also, does the glue clean off of it easily? Thanks, trying to find something similar for overtop of my work surface.
Thanks Robbie! It’s a self healing mat, I was mostly using it for cutting with the x-acto knife so I didn’t damage my bench. The glue comes off pretty well, but a silicone mat would be better.
Crafted Workshop thanks! I will check it out! I’ve seen rocklers silicone mat, just wish it was a little larger!
For sure, I wish they made a bigger one too! I usually just use contractors paper for messy glue ups.
You need to check out the artist Michael Cooper. He has been doing bent lamination for decades.
I'll check him out!
You should try to make one hiding the wall screw. Plus, it'd be cool to add another wood piece with leather to protect the wall/guitar at the bottom of the guitar body, wouldn't it? :)
For sure!
Could 3d print a mold to press the vaneer
I’d say so!
my les paul weighs about the same as a baby whale so i'm not sure this would be strong enough? Great finished product though, worth a shot for my acoustic!
Definitely strong enough! Should easily hold 20+ pounds.
Crafted Workshop sweet! I prefer this design to the hangers that you can buy so I might try it out!
I think you should have added an extra clamp... just to be safe 😂😂
😂
Nice hanger, but will it work for my air guitar? #nonmusicianmaker
Hah, it should hold!
this design will only work for 3 per side headstock guitars, eg a fender strat would twist out and fall.
No, my Tele holds just fine, it’s narrow enough to hold it.
Do you sell these?
Collab with Matt Cremona while he's wearing a Crafted Workshop shirt.
Hah, that’d be good!
