New Guitar Stand

[dfrady]

I don't know if this will interest anyone but, i had been looking into a new stand, i was looking at the warwick rock stand, i thought they kinda pricey, but hey, you get what you pay for, right. After looking at them for a few minutes, it finally came too me that i thought i could make one for a LOT less then what they're chargeing. So, after planning and building here's my rendition of a warwick rock stand. I've still got a couple of things left to do to it but, my cost so far is under $25.00 .

neato! will it hold the guitars without tipping over?

one thing you can to to make it more stable is to fill it with sand... i did this with my road hockey nets... made it heavier and stronger...

 

[dfrady]

Yes, the guitars seem very stable. I will have too try the sand trick, thanks for the tip !!

Reminds me of a bike stand I made with my pops a while back, nice idea!

 

[greeny]

Go on then I'll have one. I'll give you $30 including shipping

Guitar Stand

Maybe something like foam tubing to protect the finish on the guitars.

oh to save cost, you can just go to the local park with sandbox and fill up a bucket with sand... that's free..

Nice work! Can't argue with the price

I went looking for a multi stand and went for one that had partitions so that the guitar bodies were isolated from bumping into each other (in avatar). Looks like if I wasn't such a klutz I could have done it much cheaper

Nicely done-the only thing better an industrious man is an industrious woman!

True, but you might end up with a stand that smells like toddler pee

Mix in some kitty litter?

I kid...I kid..

Anyway you can post the dimensions/parts used?

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

I am sure the Blue Man Group will be dead proud of you! Maybe you can drum on it too!

million dolar idea...i can see the info-mercials now!!!

Parts list is as follows, i hope i didn't miss anything:

90 degree elbows - 6
T-connectors -12
End caps - 6
Couplings - 6
15' of 1 1/4" outside diameter PVC pipe (the thick stuff)

Cut your pipe as follows:
2 Uprights - 26 1/4"
2 Bottoms bars - 25 1/2"
2 - 3" spacers
15 - 1 3/4" spacers
2 - 4 3/4" Spacers
2 - 3 3/4" Spacers
4 - 2 1/2" spacers
I hope this helps, if i have time i'll try and do a photoshop to actually show where the pieces go if you need more help. I almost forgot i tube of Loctite epoxy for pvc, it has a 7 minute working time on it too give you time to level out the parts that need leveling.

Thanks a lot for that. I'll hop on making one soon and let you know how it went.
