Folding Guitar Stand // Woodworking How To (RE-UPLOAD) | I Like To Make Stuff

I made a folding guitar stand out of walnut and brass! Thanks to TOOLS & SUPPLIES: https://kit.co/iliketomakestuff/my-woodworkin… https://kit.co/iliketomakestuff/shop-safety-gear In my old office, I had my guitars hanging on the wall. In the new house, I didn't want to lose that wall space so I wanted to make a guitar stand that was functional and portable. I started designing the stand in Illustrator so that I could get an idea of how big each piece needed to be.  The sizing and geometry is important because I wanted the stand to hit hard stops when it was unfolded without having to add any additional fasteners. Unlike most of my woodworking projects, I used the Illustrator template to make a prototype out of some scrap plywood. I was very happy that I did, because my geometry was all wrong and I would have wasted some expensive hardwood. After a few iterations I had a working model and transferred the new design to some pieces of walnut. I used brass hardware to contrast
