Hey Tony thanks for your idea of the dowelling to support the necks, I built this rack yesterday for a friend. They wanted to put 2 acoustic guitars in the rack, the rest electric. They asked for the rack to hold 8 guitars and I have managed to fit 10 electrics and 2 acoustics in the 1200mm length for future GAS haha

When I bought the materials I only planned to have enough dowelling for total of 8 guitars, so I ran out.
I used the K-Flex rubber tube insulation to cover the bottom rack lengths and also over the dowelling.
I recommend anyone with about 10 guitars or more to build a rack. Materials for this cost about $80 and that includes 2 cans of black paint I will paint it once I've finished the dowelling. Took about 5 hours to get this far

Hi Fred, cheers mate. The bottom rails are 40 x 30mm pine and I had to round the edges and used 1.5" Kflex on that.
The dowels are 16mm diameter and the 1/2 inch kflex fit over that nice and tight. I used a 16mm spade drill in the drill press then glued 100mm lengths of dowel into the 70x30mm pine backboard.
How many guitars are in your collection mate ? would love to see a couple of pics of your collection

Hmm, something else to build...

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.

Hey cool Woks looks great. Now all we need is a parts list and dimensions lol. You either need a bigger room or more racks for all your guitars to Woks.

happy to scan a sketch with dimensions and a parts list if anyone wants it
