A while back someone was asking about these - I just made my own and screw it down to my wooden work table
Not sure why the picture turned sideways - But you'll get the idea

Ron,
You need to put some big holes in the rails so you can reach in and pluck the strings so you can adjust lever and pedal tuning. Ron

Posted 30 Dec 2013 8:19 pm Here's a stand I've been working on with leg extends.
|
|
They are both the same stand, the leg extensions can come off to make it a table top model. With the legs added you can pull up a chair and work on it. Was going to make them and sell them but so far only have one. The one sitting on the picnic table also doesn't have the adapters in place that hold the steel in position. |

Ron - Just saw your post - This is short enough that the strings are accessible at the end -

I made mine from an old Black and Decker Workmate, some 2x4 scrap, some dowel and some felt. I like it - it adjusts to fit any old guitar.

This design is working good so far but I don't think it's method of supporting the steel at the edges will work with all guitars. Many newer guitars just have very little material around the edges these days, and many times the edges are rounded off and are not a good place to support the guitar. I'd like to find a method of holding the guitar that is universal and still allows easy access to the strings and tuners, and will accomodate the protrusion of split tuning screws from the changer end. Suggestions are welcome.

My method is to take 2 large books (dictionaries), 4 to 5 inches thick, and place them on a work bench. I lay the guitar on the books much in the same manner that it goes in the case, with the changer and keyhead ends supported by the books. Gives me total access to all parts of the guitar.

I bought a set of work legs from a fellow on the forum... unfortunately my MCI has inset legs so the bolts on the ends of the legs weren't long enough to reach the socket when the work legs were installed. So I got some 1" x 1/8" aluminum angle, cut to 14", four 3/4" copper split pipe hangers (they fit 7/8" legs... take a tape measure to the plumbing supply place when you go to be sure), and attached (drilled/tapped/screwed) the work legs to the aluminum angle. The copper is soft enough not to mar the chrome legs. I may have to drill some new holes for the pipe hangers to space them differently for other guitars' leg spacing but that's easy.
