I've got an old B&D Firestorm table saw with wholes in the table top like that, and was looking at it yesterday wondering if I could rig up a router in there! Thats a slick move and will give me a reason to wheel that thing back out! Thanks for sharing! Also, very nice work👌 Beautiful lines on that stand.
This looks very nice but I have a question .. did you just make up the sizes/angles as you were cutting and cross your fingers that it wouldn’t fall over or are there some calculations here …? 😅
Beautiful are there any downloadable plans for this as I don't have machines but have a friendly shop who will do the cutting raw and then give them me to finish .
Hey Paul. I have posted plans but you will need to save the images from my website. Unfortunately, I don't have downloadable pdf files. woodworkjunkie.com/diy-wooden-guitar-stand-with-basic-power-tools
Great video, I do have a question for you WsJ's.In the neck plot component 1 you show 3 bend locations, other than your free hand design are there measurements for those three bends? Measurements represented by dotted lines going up to the 80.06mm, 80 mm and 80.06mm say from the dotted line from bottom to the bend itself. I hope this makes some sense.Thx, best regards,Dave
Hey Steven. The stand was specifically built with my Yamaha F310 in mind. Guitars with different dimensions and weight might not be as stable but there would be nothing stopping a person from making the base a bit bigger. The pitch of the neck with respect to the base is also quite important.
Thanks for the response Jean 🙂 I am just finishing off a stand I'm making for a friend (surprise gift). I don't play the guitar so I had no idea of the size / weight distribution. I had to do a Google image search for some images with dimensions. I'm sure mine is over engineered as I'm the only person to make a squirrel feeder with dovetail joints 😂
I think I'll head out to the shop right now and lay this thing out. Well done! You have a new subscriber. Check out my studio at The Mic'd Files. Every bit of it was handcrafted by yours truly. Tables, desks, art frames, cabinetry, I wired and lit it all, it even has a tattoo studio inside. My wood shop used to be my favorite spot, but now I spend much more time in the studio. However, you motivated me to get one of my acoustic guitars off the ground so out to the shop I go.
The wood I used to build this stand was about 22mm thick. The imperial system is not my strong suit but that's about 0.86". Though the wood I used is very hard and dense, I would say 19mm (3/4") would be cutting it very close.
Thank you for the prompt response! fortunately I was able to get my hands on a 1x12 fir board (actual dimensions) it's a little soft of wood, but I tested the fork piece by holding it with my hands, with the guitar in place and nothing cracked or broke. My next hurdle is orientating the up-right piece on the base piece..?
Yeah, this is quite important. If the base is not attached correctly the stand will tip forward when the guitar is placed on it. I did add a little diagram to the build tutorial at woodworkjunkie.com/diy-wooden-guitar-stand-with-basic-power-tools that explains how the base should be attached. The furthest point of the base should extend in front of the cradle when the stand is viewed from the top.
I'm a guitar player and woodworker and can make a pretty safe guess that 3/4" of a good hardwood like red oak, walnut or especially white oak would easily hold the weight of any guitar, acoustic or electric. But if in doubt, you could always glue two sheet of stock together to get 1.5", which would be strong enough to support a piano (ok, just kidding but not by much).
I am retired and own a small shop where I do woodturning, produce musical instruments, and a bit of cabinetry. I have a shelf full of woodworking books - but I discovered this woodworking book, “Bαzοmο Tdy Plαn” (Google it). The comprehensiveness of this book is unbelievable. It has good coverage on each and every subject matter. .

Very attractive. I have given up on floor-stands. All my guitars are on the wall now. But in a living room, this is perfect. Great job!
You have a great mind to create nice job
Very nice! And with rudimentary tools and makeshift workbench. Kudos
Great project! Thanks for taking the time to make and film it. Subscribed.
What a beautiful guitar stand!
WOW what a great design and simple build. Thank you for the vid
I'm actually working on another design but it's still in planning phase. I'll try an post it when I make it.
It'll be good to see, you do good work and have some interesting ideas. Keep it up.
Great!! Love it...easy to build...tq man
Great job! Two thumbs up for that build....................
Thanks! Glad you like it.
If I want to watch someone saw wood will listening to music, I would take a a player out to my work shop!
It just wow
Thanks to you....Gokng to build one.....Thank you....Tim n Tina
you sir are an artist :)
As nice and graceful as they arc is, it wastes a lot of wood...nice stand!
This looks very nice but I have a question .. did you just make up the sizes/angles as you were cutting and cross your fingers that it wouldn’t fall over or are there some calculations here …? 😅
Very nice. Do you have a template for it that you can share?
I love this design but that looks like a 1x10 of hardwood to get that curve?
That'll do, Thank you.
I currently have a Jigsaw but no router. Without one, do you think I will be able to accomplish smooth corners with just sanding?
very nice!!!!
Hey guys have you tried *TopFineWoodworking. Com* i tried this website and i found this is the best way to learn woodworking

How stable is it?
The base looks a little small, great easy project :-)

Hey if it works and it looks good then why the heck not.

What thickness of wood did you use? Would you recommend 3/4" if 1" is not as readily available? Or is 3/4" too thin..?
The wood I used to build this stand was about 22mm thick. The imperial system is not my strong suit but that's about 0.86". Though the wood I used is very hard and dense, I would say 19mm (3/4") would be cutting it very close.

How about narratives?
