I purchased the templet and made two of them today and they are awesome. thanks for all the work you put in to this so it was easy for us to do. I wish I could put a picture to show how they turned out.
This is a great design and you did a fabulous job building it. A word of caution from my own experience: If you have a son who plays guitar, that boy will end up with a substantial number of guitars over the next few years, so be warned that you will be making more of these in the future. So, keep those plans handy.
To me these wooden free standing stands are like works of art in themselves. Much nicer than the cheap metal ones you buy. Can't say I'm crazy about the guitar - kind of plane. But I really nice looking guitar in this stand would look great in a living room or somewhere when not being played.
That looks incredible! I want to make something for our Worship Leader at church and now this is on the list of ideas. Thanks for sharing and inspiring!
Thanks Art - I guess I owe you another $5 for a second set of plans as I just built 2! Mine won't leave my studio so I used construction 2x8 for the vertical and wings, with some hardwood scraps for the bottom centre piece and head yolk. They look and work great. 1 ½" softwood seems stable enough, but I wouldn't call it portable and wouldn't mill softwood down to 1" for sure - yours is much sleeker too, but I didn't have the spare hardwood or cash for it and the gamble seems to have worked ok. Thanks again - great design!
Nice job Art, hopefully that will become a keepsake for your son. I too like the full details and the explanation of the challenges. For us that want to "learn" by watching the videos, these are very helpful. Thanks
Art, that stand came out very nice indeed! You son should be proud to own and use it! (You could make and see guitar stands as a side job...like you need more work! ;))
I have a Mountain Dulcimer that I want to make a stand for. I really want a that I can take apart and take with me when I go to festivals. It's 36" long and has a scroll head. How would I adjust this to hold it at the right height? The fretboard is 1.5" wide so the head is rather narrow too. The tuning gear buttons are towards the front, I am considering replacing them with planetary gears though.
On my stand, the bass is held at a height of about 42". Height-wise, it would work. I have no idea about center-of-mass on a dulcimer, that is why I spoke several times about prototypes in the video. Best wishes.
ya... i just made a log wall mount guitar holder... the neck suport bracket was a trial and erro fitt up.. would be nice to have a way to make a template for that lol... now i hope it fits a 3/4 size guitar lol i luv ur build and how u put the vid together... ty
Looks nice. Of course you can just buy one at guitar center for $10. Wont be pretty though. I don't know why you patched the test notches on the prototype. Strength?
Liquid Len I'm quite sure it would. In fact, I can help you with that. Check out Chop-with-Chris' video here: ruclips.net/video/w3HBvCCHx1o/видео.html Starting a bit more than half-way through or so he builds an Air guitar. it would match perfectly with this stand.
I like it for "leave me here stand" but it is not practical enough to haul around with all my other crap for a gig. And... because this is tall, I bet it still very wobbly on a carpeted room.. but then, any stand in the style of "hanging" will have the same problem.
Beautiful piece! I love it's design, looks nice when the bass is on!
Scrap wood City Thank-you!

Joe Walters Thanks, Joe. The end result is worth the work!
wordsnwood yea it is. It turned out great!
Nice job Art, hopefully that will become a keepsake for your son.

Thanks
Just purchased the plans, looking forward to building a few of these to display my guitars. Thanks!
Did the plans work out well?
I've looked at many videos looking for a guitar stand I can build. I choose this one. Simple but looks nice.
you earned it my man. great job . looks awesome!
You did a GREAT job. Great design, build and video.
stephen dickinson Thanks!
Art, that stand came out very nice indeed! You son should be proud to own and use it! (You could make and see guitar stands as a side job...like you need more work! ;))
Great job on the video, just the right amount of talking, instruction, speed video. very entertaining.
Christopher Vaccaro Thank-you

Drunken Woodworker Hey, Thanks, David!
loved it!

Exactly. It was a pretty flimsy board.
I really like that. Do you think the same design would work for my son's air guitar? :D
Liquid Len I'm quite sure it would. In fact, I can help you with that. Check out Chop-with-Chris' video here: ruclips.net/video/w3HBvCCHx1o/видео.html
Starting a bit more than half-way through or so he builds an Air guitar. it would match perfectly with this stand.
Very nice indeed; have you made the plans, or at least the dimensions available, please?
+Dave Green Some of this is noted in the build article on my website A lot depends on the guitar you use.
Plans are now available for the guitar stand....

Excellent 😉👍
Thank you 👍
Beautifull!!!
I like it for "leave me here stand" but it is not practical enough to haul around with all my other crap for a gig.
And... because this is tall, I bet it still very wobbly on a carpeted room.. but then, any stand in the style of "hanging" will have the same problem.
Will this design hold a acoustic guitar??
I've never tried, but it should. Again, the dimensions of the guitar are key.
NICE
be nice to have some measurements or a link for a pattern
Plans are now available for the guitar stand....
