Early Access Video: Bent Wood Guitar Stand
Added 2018-09-01 23:29:43 +0000 UTCFriends:
I recently got a new guitar and when I got an old guitar stand out of the closet, I realized that it was ugly and that I could make something better.
So I did.
This is my first experiment with bent lamination, an accessible technique that anyone can use to make springy, graceful curves with wood.
I'm really happy with the finished product, but as always, I want to hear YOUR thoughts in the comments.
I didn't thank my newest patrons in this video because it was already a bit long, but I'll fix that in my next video.
Hope you're all having a great Holiday Weekend!

I don't see a community tab, so I just created a Flickr album, something I probably should have done a long time ago: <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/johnlaudun/albums/72157670918599617" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.flickr.com/photos/johnlaudun/albums/72157670918599617</a>

2018-09-02 14:48:43 +0000 UTCI actually kid of cut them by accident while I was trimming some table legs. A good table saw and a carbide blade will slice some very thin veneers. I was going to throw them away, but then I was like "hey, these are nice veneers; maybe I should keep them". Glad I did.

2018-09-02 11:24:11 +0000 UTCNice design. As a side note, what you've done here is reminiscent of an African tripod chair -- most of the examples I've seen are from West Africa. I'd post a photo, but I don't know that Patreon comments allow that.
